chmod; sudo chmod

How would you stir permissions lol? Just randomize it?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

5 points for the awk command.

10 points for a perl script.

007 is a pretty ideal permission scheme for a spy, though: Deny access to owner & group; let some 3rd party do whatever he likes.

First thing to do if you need a functioning server

Unless you're a security guy and get off on people not being able to do their jobs due to Access Denied

Recently, I learned of the concept of "Linux capabilities". And yeah, as much as I enjoy reading up on these things, the whole time I was thinking, if something's fucky with these capabilities, I'll never remember to check them...

Funfact: if you want to run for example HTTP server, you can run it with CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE and no_new_priv.

Should've been Sean Connery and not Daniel Craig bond in the pic! Missed opportunity.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago

You can't do that...Connery would just mount and fsck everything that moved instead of fixing the system.

And need the extra CHMOD, JAMES CHMOD

Bad bad bad!

Does anyone actually know how to pronounce chmod?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Yep! It's pronounced "chmod"

[–] shundi82 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Had it been Sean Connery in the picture as some had suggested, his pronunciation would've been:

"Shmod, Shamesh Shmod."

But as to how it's actually pronounced: No clue. Our server admins call it "See age mod" - but I'm not too sure they are the authority on pronouncing stuff right. :-P

[–] eestileib 2 points 11 months ago

Rhymes with "SCMODS" from Blues Brothers.

ssh still doesn't work. I'm out of ideas!
