From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks for taking one for the team.
Yeah, the author is a bit 1337 hax0r, and is promoting their own tool, but I still thought the writeup was interesting. It's interesting to see how much a non-root process can do to globally visible data.
Jesus. I thought it just asked nicely.
