I had a question on a job interview:
How can you execute (run) the program with the user
user1
withoutsudo
privileges and without access to theroot
account:$ whoami user1 $ ls -l ~/binary_program -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 126160 Jan 17 18:57 /home/user1/binary_program
Best Answer
Since you have read permission:
Of course this will not auto-magically grant you escalated privileges. You would still be executing that binary as a regular user.
