Interesting example. How does denying root to the user mitigate this attack?
- jshen 2y agoMuch harder to install a key logger or other such shenanigans.
- dTal 2y agoInstall a key logger, when they already have someone on the end of the line willing to install and run whatever software they request? Why? I think the marginal security value of denying root on the computer when you have already wangled root on the human is small.
- jshen 2y agoPrior to modern AI, one could be done at scale, now I suppose both can which may change my calculus on this one. I hadn't thought about that until your comment. Thanks!
