One such application would be ONYX .
Intellihence | 05/16/07

|
Anything that requires system-level access in OS X
nix_hed | 05/17/07
|
|
Not really
dolph0291 | 05/17/07
|
|
Would something similar work with Linux?
NonZealot | 05/16/07
|
|
The short answer is, Yes.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07
|
|
The real answer would be NO . What would No-Axe know , he's a Win zealot
Intellihence | 05/16/07
|
|
You demonstrate your ignorance of Linux
No_Ax_to_Grind | 05/16/07

So enlighten us then Don
Robert Crocker | 05/16/07

Well let Microsoft know you are using Linux also ,

Answer to first question: no.
Mitch 74 | 05/17/07

Depends on how you did sudo
Robert Crocker | 05/16/07
|
|
You could, but that would assume the trojan could modify the sudoers file.
gotitright | 05/16/07
|
|
Not exactly the question
Robert Crocker | 05/16/07
|
|
Nope.
gotitright | 05/16/07

|
. . . and you misread the article a bit
CobraA1 | 05/16/07

CobraA1 | 05/16/07

Understood.
gotitright | 05/16/07

Nope.

Some advice to help you out...
Linux User 147560 | 05/17/07
|
|
Figured it out
gotitright | 05/17/07
|
|
Probably
CobraA1 | 05/16/07
|
|
For Distros like Ubuntu, it wouldn't even be necessary
toadlife | 05/16/07
|
|
What?
gotitright | 05/16/07

|
Try to follow along now
toadlife | 05/16/07

Path?
rbowes | 05/23/07
|
|
It's possible I am sure
Linux User 147560 | 05/16/07
|
|
See my post about about distro with insecure implimetations of SUDO
toadlife | 05/16/07
|
|
Access would have to be gained
Linux User 147560 | 05/17/07
|
|
Ignore the premise if you like
toadlife | 05/17/07

This was old hat on UNIX in 1980.

fizzmaster | 05/16/07

JoeMama_z | 05/16/07

|
Strange
fizzmaster | 05/16/07

JoeMama_z | 05/16/07

Blame on both sides
fizzmaster | 05/16/07

Not as much on MS

We need to educate the clueless
LittleGuy | 05/17/07

You can't educate those that don't want to learn.

No more UAC prompts, just get anti-malware
butler360 | 05/17/07

You are not set with anti-malware
