What Would Have Happened If The Least Privilege Principle Being Followed?
Answer»
Least privilege principle allowed the use of commands with more security and provided the processes with FEWER resources that were unwanted.
The command that were used to be situated with the set-uid to root that allowed the system to be accessed.
The commands were used not in a better way to help people use it but they were used in an improper way of creating the directories and running it on their own.
The root account was made less accessible by any user and no authorization is given on that front to run the file or any PROCESS again until it is required.
There are many sub processes used to handle the commands so that it can’t interfere in other processes.
This principle minimized the damage of having the VIRUSESATTACKED the system and STEAL the information.
