This Gist documents Unix utilities that have options that can be abused to execute other, arbritrary commands. This information can be useful in many scenarios -- the ones that come to mind are abusing certain /etc/sudoers configurations, breaking out of limited shells (eg. the ones provided in many network devices) and getting RCE in webapps even with restrictive filters in place.
Many of these examples originally came from this blogpost.
This is the script that was used to test these examples:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
