Hans-G?nter@24724 1 The libcap-ng library is intended to make programming with posix
Hans-G?nter@24724 2 capabilities much easier than the traditional libcap library.
Hans-G?nter@24724 3 It includes utilities that can analyse all currently running
Hans-G?nter@24724 4 applications and print out any capabilities and whether or not it
Hans-G?nter@24724 5 has an open ended bounding set. An open bounding set without the
Hans-G?nter@24724 6 securebits "NOROOT" flag will allow full capabilities escalation
Hans-G?nter@24724 7 for applications retaining uid 0 simply by calling execve.
Hans-G?nter@24724 8
Hans-G?nter@24724 9 The included utilities are designed to let administrators and
Hans-G?nter@24724 10 developers spot applications from various ways that may be running
Hans-G?nter@24724 11 with too much privilege. For example, any investigation should
Hans-G?nter@24724 12 start with network facing applications since they would be prime
Hans-G?nter@24724 13 targets for intrusion.
Hans-G?nter@24724 14 The netcap program will check all running applications and display
Hans-G?nter@24724 15 the results.
