I'm doing some hands on pen testing and following some guides to get an understanding of the tools of the trade. I'm following along with the guide here and I understand everything except for the last page.



I need assistance understanding sudo -l below. I know that it details what the current user can do. However, what does the output below mean?



enter image description here



And how about the command below (excluding touch)? It kind of confuses me because after running that command (exploit?), I was able to get root.



enter image description here



From my understanding, the line is saying to run the command as root or elevate to root, zip the file called exploit, and place it in tmp/exploit. I believe I'm wrong but that's where my understanding of that line stops.



I'm confused as to how I got root with that command and what that line is doing. Any help laymansing it for me would be appreciated in understanding these commands.

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 1 How can I extract a single band from multi-band raster in QGIS? I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this
