Core Snippet: Permission & Firewall Handling
// Dynamic permission verification for proactive firewall enforcement
async checkRootPermissions() {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
exec('id -u', (error, stdout) => {
const uid = parseInt(stdout.trim(), 10);
this.hasRoot = !error && uid === 0;
if (this.hasRoot) {
console.log('[AUTH] Root access verified: Firewall blocking enabled.');
} else {
console.log('[WARN] Non-root environment: Running in passive monitoring mode.');
}
resolve(this.hasRoot);
});
});
}
