I wonder if sudo su works if sudoer password is different from root?

smh

exploit for getting in root shell if you know the sudoers pw

Nice

But if you know the sudoers password

Why not just sudo su?

ikr

it’s like if I used the same key as I use to unlock my car, to also turn it on, using an exploit

when I can just use it regularly

sounds a bit unnecessary

Yeah on older systems I guess it works without sudo though

Or if they left a shell open that’s already used sudo

I wonder if sudo su works if sudoer password is different from root?

And some features are restricted from sudo

why would anyone ever run man as sudo

the idea would be that someone added man to the list of accepted commands

well it overloads the buffer, so if you have sudo user password but not root password, you can still get a root shell

but not su

just init=/bin/sh to your kernel line smh

idk I found it in a MOOK lol

(although i guess this may be useful if you’re on an encrypted system xd)
