Help with running rooting 1 in linux
If u cant get the linux ver to run you can use Wine to run the windows application http://www.winehq.org/
what I did.. (in normal terminal.. not part of the challenge)
su
[root password]
chmod a+x root1
exit
./root1
basicly what that does (if you dont know)
1~2 switch user to root change mode to allow all to execute leave root (always bad to run programs in root) run it..
basically normally places will make it so noone can execute the file because well… bad things can happen :P
