Sorry, user pi is not authorized to execute as root on raspberrypi?
As should be the case since the user name "pi" has been deprecated for quite some time especially for an "admin-like" user with sudo access and certainly not the default user. However I appreciate that a "pi-like" user & name associated with certain groups to access parts of a Pi's hardware might be useful/helpful when trying to apply older tools and associated docs. which tend to refer to "pi" as the main/only user of such.

I also note that, as yet, @Luosi has not returned to this thread to clarify the "need" for "root access" and I'm beginning to hear alarm bells!

Trev.
Do you mean it's yet another low-effort drive by?

Or that perhaps Luosi was trying to get instructions on compromising a system without having to google it.

FWIW, their profile says they were last active on 30 Sep 2024 02:32.
