GiveMeRoot

Kernel module to set root privileges to any given process (suid = uid = fsuid = euid = 0)

Dependencies

In order to compile the kernel module you should have the latest version of your Linux kernel headers.

On Ubuntu/Debian you can install them using:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Find the pid of the process you want to give root privileges

  $ ps aux | grep vim
  myuser  5166  1.3  0.1 249988 10980 pts/12   Sl+  15:15   0:00 vim

Insert the module into the kernel with pid parameter
```
  $ insmod givemeroot.ko pid=5166
```

$ rmmod givemeroot
