Cutting-edge hack gives super user status by exploiting DRAM weakness
Now these guys deserve a medal
Not very practical to be widely used, but it works.
"Bit flipping works when a hacker-developed app or process accesses two carefully selected rows of memory hundreds of thousands of times in a tiny fraction of a second. By hammering the two "aggressor" memory regions, the exploit can reverse one or more bits in a third "victim" location. In other words, selected zeros in the victim region will turn into ones or vice versa."
