chroot() - ? for the unix guys
Hey guys you don't have to do any research (and i've been googling for answers) but if any of you know off the top of your head about how can chroot() be misused (on purpose or by accident) and what are the consequences i would love it.
its pretty interesting stuff. i know how its vulnerable but i don't know how the command itself can be misused
