Hal PomeranzYou have access to the vim text editor via sudo, but shell escapes are blocked. How do you escalate privileges to get an unfettered root shell without sudo?

If you're using a distro where the root account is locked the only way I know is to use "sudo passwd root" to enable the root account. I'm far from being a 1337 h4x0r though, so it wouldn't surprise me if there's a more hacky way.
