Here is a simple hack to break sudo and su to get free root. Add this
to ~/.bashrc and fill in the following blanks:

* ~/.root_kit/rk_su
 Your hacked su to give root on su --now-dammit
* ~/.root_kit/silent_install_root_kit
 Your script to silently install rk_su over /bin/su and add SUID to
it.

[dk@pepper dk]$ ls -la /bin/su
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root        19132 Aug 29  2002 /bin/su

  So, in other words, all you need in order to get root access is a rootkit, 
your shell script, and root access?  Ummm... I don't get it.
