Thanks for the video. Though I'm not sure if this was the best example. Instead of overwriting /bin/cat, wouldn't it be better to show that if you could put a malicious cat executable in any other directory that would be searched before /bin/ , then the malicious cat executable would be run?
I have a doubt there, is cron-task also run by root? Or it can be run by other users? If it could be run by other users, how can we know that which user is running the cron-task?
Cron jobs can also be run by users other than root. If you'd like to try and identify cron jobs running on a system and who they are running as, take a look at this tool github.com/DominicBreuker/pspy

but if the chrontab changes the PATH to not include a directory you can change then this basically won't work

You can also use this command to check directories with write permission (other): find / -type d -perm -o+w -exec ls -lad {} ';' 2>/dev/null
