I am not sure i understand why peekfd is more risky compared to using commands that are inspecting traffic and env information. Could you elaborate on that?
Backdoors aren't very interesting. Anyone can write a backdoor to run as root/admin on any OS. How they get installed is much more interesting. If you use SELinux or fapolicyd then this backdoor (or any other) can't run.
So glad the algorithm suggested this video, awesome!
Thanks for the compliment and watching. We will be posting a lot more of these short topic videos so please subscribe.
@SandflySecurity Already did! Also maybe if it's possible to make the red font a little brighter ☺️
Thanks for the feedback. We'll fix for next time.

Mainly in the context of the attacker may see you running the command and know they've been seen or are being watched. It's not very stealthy.
Forgot how useful peekfd is!
And built into most distros!
