Gain root privileges (svc_service_shell)
This service script enables you to gain root privileges and run commands that require root privileges.
Before using the svc_service_shell script, you must enable it using the svc_inject script:
1. Generate a key to enable root escalation: svc_inject generate-key --root
2. Contact your service provider to get response key.
3. Copy the response key and use it with the svc_inject script to enable root escalation: svc_inject run
<response_key>
If the command successfully completes, you are granted root level access and can run the service_shell script as shown in
the following example:
svc_inject run
194E3-2CDB8-1B367-D3D51-C9100-28BDA-5BDC0-906F9-00
