Which reminds me, I recently found a vulnerability on all open source
based systems. Seems like whenever there is a program called sudo
installed on the machine - any user can run a command with root
privileges on that machine if sudo is properly configured to allow the
user to do so.

#!/bin/sh
# sudUmb

echo pwnd
sudo shutdown now

# insert one million shout outs to etards here
