From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

On Linux/Mac you have no use sudo. For sudo you need a password.
This thing will make it very easy to make a rubber ducky though.
Would be pretty easy to pull off if you had hardware access. Just boot from a flash drive and drop the exploit from there.
Even if their OS is full disk encrypted, this can easily inject a backdoor or just keylog the bootup password prompt.
