Run any command as root, without knowing the sudo password

A payload that allows for executing any bash command on the targets computer as root, without knowing their sudo password.

Category: Execution

Description

This payload intercepts the .bashrc file so when the user uses sudo they type their password in our fake prompt letting us execute any command with root. We also execute the targets original command, and remove our injection in the .bashrc file to remove traces.
