sumo/README.md

Sumo is a Linux Kernel module that grants root access credentials to any user-space process by PID.

# TL;DR

*.bashrc*
```bash
make                 # build
sudo insmod sumo.ko  # install
./whoami             # test
```

# How it works

In it's `init()` function, *sumo* kernel module creates `/proc/sumo` file and waits for PID to be written. Afterwards, it fetches instance of a `task_struct` [kernel structure](https://medium.com/@boutnaru/linux-kernel-task-struct-829f51d97275) associated with the given PID and modifies its values accordingly.
