You run a DHCP server.  When a DHCP client connects you return
malicious data that Bash uses to run executables (e.g. setting default
routes).

Dang. That DHCP server could be a tiny little RaspberryPI tucked away on any open ethernet port on anyone's desk in the company. It could respond to DHCP requests sent out by any device on the network.

Well, at least maybe this could be useful for IT to help identify devices that need patching, by telling the device to, for example, ping a specific host or even to halt.
