I was looking around Google and I found an interesting list of root exploits for Unix and Linux. You always hear about how secure Linux is, but taking a look at this might show you that no kernel is perfect. Make sure no one runs these on your machine!

Yeah well, most of those are deprecated. If you want to run a Linux virus, then you have to start with the most recent 'Kernel Linus'. Working against an old kernel isn't going to work.

Oh, I know. But I just wanted to keep people aware.
