Hi, Robert. The whole machine I work with is not a general purpose machine, but some kind of embedded HDD-less product. When powered up, the machine runs the OS, which in turn 'wired' to perform numerous manipulations in order to run what we call Application. As I've said before, the Application replaces the native Linux shell (sh, bash, etc) with its own so, that I cannot login as a root, for example, and use the Linux native CLI interface. Considering the option to 'un-wire' the OS from the Application and manually perform all the manipulations appears to lead to huge overhead and, possibly, change in runtime behaviour. That's why I'm giving very serious thought to implementing a backdoor in the Application's shell, which will allow me to use Linux CLI commands.
What you say ?
