  • I think the author identifies the correct issues but this isn’t an argument against passkeys as a security measure rather their inevitable use by corpos for data harvesting. I hate it too tbqh I’d rather get hacked on some disposable email account with a random username than have to hand over my PII, money and mortal soul to Google for extra sec. At work it’s a different level of shit entirely. We have SSO behind SSO behind SSO, the inept overseas coworkers don’t understand arch of the company they got merged with nor the concept of legal compliance or ISO, they’re running the entire sec programme into the ground to bring it under AD in a way that directly compromises their AD when nothing in any of our orgs even uses windows in any way except theirs where they drink M$ coolaid. If this job wasn’t so comfortable I’d be depressed just thinking about it.






  • Another way to do this is sudo su -c 'this is my command

    E.g. change a fan setting on a ThinkPad with:

    sudo su -c 'echo "level full-speed" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan'

    So to run a shell you could do all sorts of tricks like:

    sudo su -c '/bin/bash -i' and such.

    Never know when it comes in handy.

    EDIT: Damn, downvoted, any reason why? It works on my machine with a locked root user or one without a PW and I made sure to test it before posting, but I’d love an explanation of why it wouldn’t work if that’s the reason for the downvote. Was just hoping it would be useful to somebody :/
