/proc/sysrq-trigger
Using the echo
command to write to this file, a remote root user can execute most System Request Key commands remotely as if at the local terminal. To echo
values to this file, the /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
must be set to a value other than 0
. For more information about the System Request Key, refer to " /proc/sys/kernel/
".
Although it is possible to write to this file, it cannot be read, even by the root user.
