How to get root on Ubuntu 20.04 by pretending nobody’s /home
Slightly offtopic, but a common exploit(?) I frequently see with Linux desktop environments is a few seconds where the user's live desktop is displayed after resuming from standby, before the logon screen comes up. Not exactly a case of obtaining control of one's computer, but could be effectively used through repetition to transcribe any sensitive content that may have been onscreen.It always struck me as a very strange phenomenon to occur given the apparent security superiority of Linux in contrast to Windows. Perhaps that's an antiquated notion now, given modern distros that prioritise form-over-function more than they used to?
