Muting the microphone while you type the password. That is, you run `sudo foo`, and it mutes the microphone before giving you the “[sudo] password for ‹username›: ” prompt, then unmutes it when you have entered the password and pressed Enter, and then runs `foo` as root.
- chrisjc 5y agoUnderstood... but why are you doing this? Bc someone could decipher your passwords if you record the sound of your keystrokes while entering them?
- marcan_42 5y agoYes, it's what you initially thought. I sudo often enough during the streams that I could see someone trying to pull that off and succeeding.
