Does anyone have a technical breakdown of what code he admits to have written? TIA
I'm late to the party and most of the articles I've seen so far focus more on the person and WannaCry as opposed to the 2013-2014 aspect.

This is function hooking code. It's useful when you need to change the behaviour of an application, by redirecting a function call to your own function.
Like any piece of code it has both legitimate and nefarious uses. However, function hooking is very basic stuff.
Anyone who has ever tried to learn how things work under the hood will have written function hooking code before.
