In software, that's easy: just have a way to execute arbitrary code in the context of the running server. A *hugely* beneficial debugging tool. Of course, it's also a security concern, so you have to put a good password [1] on it, or have some other system for guaranteeing that untrusted persons can't execute arbitrary code.
