Good point. The kernel version in the transcript looks like the version I've got on a CentOS machine, so it's probably patched. Interestingly, the strings ("r00tr00t", "Executing shell") from the local-root tool they're using don't appear anywhere online, suggesting that it's something private and potentially unknown.
It's easy to modify strings in a simple C function/program. That's all that would be needed to modify and display the "r00tr00t" etc you are mentioning.

One of the files on their server is an exploit for that vulnerability. If they know about it, I would guess they aren't vulnerable, but who knows.

maybe it's just not indexed.
