Ex:

# the exploit
```js
..whatever
```

1. Run thru uglify and check if it calls require.
2. Write a script (maybe based on a template) that would load the "exploit" 
using a vm and without any context.

```js
require('vm').runInNewContext([
  '"use strict";',
  '('+exploit.toString()+')()'
].join('\n'), { ... }); // no console of course, and nothing that isn't needed

```

3. Run the new script and check if finished ok (exit code 0) and within your 
specified time (setTimeout)
