UGN Security Forums UGN Security: Underground General Quick question

Just a quick question to anyone who can be bothered to answer.

Lets suppose you had physical access to a system(in this example its a mandrake based system), which way do you think would be best to hack root?

With an axe. Oh, and su. Definitely su.

I'd look around to see what software was installed, and then go to google and start searching for exploits.

lol, su would be one way.
