I don’t think i need to explain how it works, should i ?
Actually, you do… does it have higher authority than TrustedInstaller or SYSTEM?
Reverse engineer denuvo and other kernel-level anti-cheat gaming software and use those methods to write a real sudo command.
Are they actually naming the command “sudo” or is that just a comparison?
Edit: apparently yes, the audacity lol
Looks like they didn’t even tried to hide it : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sudo/
The sudo command offers a way to quickly elevate a command as administrator from your current unelevated command line context and is familiar to some users coming from other operating systems.
What’s wrong with giving a command the same name as the equivalent command from other operating systems?
To me lynx is an application, whereas sudo is part of the OS, just like cp or cat. I know Linux sudo is maintained separately, but it’s part of what is expect in even the most minimal install of any Unix-like OS.
This has put me in mind of when OSX added virtual desktops. Everyone forgot that they’ve been a thing in *nix for 30 years, and NextOS (which OSX was built on top of) already had them. So Apple purposefully removed them, let people complain about not having them (and build their own 3rd party solutions) for something like 8 years, then got mountains of positive press for the “new innovation” of virtual desktops. Isn’t Apple amazing!
Great job Microsoft! I’m sure this is a game changer for the world.
Ah MacOS, don’t forget they’re continuing to neuter root/sudo probably for some future goal of a walled garden desktop/laptop 🤮 for “privacy and security”
