One could say the same for gksudo, UAC prompts, or the equivalent dialog on your favorite operating system, no? Or is there something on other OSes that identifies it?
- sudosysgen 7y agogksudo and UAC don't let the process lie about what it is.
- lultimouomo 7y agoI don't think UAC is spoofable - if I remember well it minimizes all the other windows and hides the taskbar, which you shouldn't be able to do with a regular dialog. gksudo is definitely spoofable, except I almost never get a gksudo dialog. I am not trained to expect every other app to periodically ask me for my password.
