This video is just incredible. By exploiting a bug in the original SNES Super Mario World someone is able to inject the code of Flappy Bird into RAM and start executing it. This got me thinking about Ethereum and the DAO hack.
The hack described in the video below is much more involved, yet obviously, a whole lot less disruptive (and lucrative). If you want to know more about the details of that hack see here.
The sheer lengths the SNES hacking enthusiasts went to get this working is astounding, and all just for the bragging rights of saying that they did it. My question is: do we really have a hope in hell of writing secure Ethereum contracts if stuff like the Super Mario World hack is possible?
