About this blog

Hacking techniques include penetration testing, network security, reverse cracking, malware analysis, vulnerability exploitation, encryption cracking, social engineering, etc., used to identify and fix security flaws in systems.

The root user is disabled on Red Star, and it doesn't look like there is a way to enable it. 
UnFortunately, they left a big security hole: the Software Manager (swmng.app), 
which runs as root through sudo and will install any RPM package, even if unsigned.

To get root, get this RPM package I made into Red Star through an ISO (if you're using a virtual machine) or USB key,
double-click it to open it with the Software Manager, and click through the blue buttons until it’s done.
After that, run rootsh to get a root shell. 
Being a RedHat-based system (hinting on Fedora 15), SELinux will prevent you from doing some things, 
but disabling it is a matter of running setenforce 0 as root.
