A linux-like su/sudo on Windows.

This is a demo project. It may have security vulnerability. SO RUN AT YOUR OWN RISK.

$ git clone https://github.com/DoubleLabyrinth/WindowsSudo.git
$ cd WindowsSudo
$ msbuild WindowsSudo.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64  # or `x86` if you like

Then you will get

su.exe
sudo.exe
WindowsSudo.Prompter.exe
WindowsSudo.Service.exe

at bin/x64-Release (or bin/x86-Release) directory.

1. Move to the four exe files to a directory which is

   1. in %PATH% environment variable

   2. is writable for administrators ONLY

   For example, you can place the four exe files to C:\Windows\System32\.

2. Run cmd.exe as administrator and install WindowsSudo.Service.exe as service.

   $ cd C:\Windows\System32\
   $ WindowsSudo.Service.exe /install
   $ WindowsSudo.Service.exe /start

3. Enjoy su and sudo with yourself.

   Example:

   $ sudo whoami /priv
