    Best I can get is figuring out a way to reuse some pins on the uc to isolate two or three caps to use as voltage pumps and then dump the whole thing at once into the battery.

    I somehow suspect Electroboom is going to get a lot of new viewers in the next few days

      Reading a bit more into it, seems all of them were Motorola pagers, so they had to have exploited the li-on charging pins to either create a loop or spam different voltage signals via their payload. Regardless, it’s a truly impressive exploit.
