Ninja Privilege Escalation Detection and Prevention System 0.1.3 - Race Condition Privilege Escalation

#[Title] Ninja privilege escalation detection and prevention system race condition
#[Author] Ben 'highjack' Sheppard
#[URL] http://highjack.github.io/
#[Description] There is a small delay between the time of execution of a command and the time privelege escalation is detected.
#It is therefore possible to use a pty to run a command such as su and provide the password faster than it can be detected.
#The following PoC becomes root using su and issues killall -9 ninja. The attacker can then run any commands that they wish.
#[Software Link] http://forkbomb.org/ninja/
#[Date] 29/04/2015
#[Version] 0.1.3
#[Tested on] Kali Linux
#[Demo] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8VJCUUJPLg

#See me hitting every open port, 'cause im banging on their system while I'm staying out of the court
