Attack on Environment Variables

In this lab, we experiment with environment variables and see how they affect programs. Specifically, how environment variables are shared (or not) between parent and child processes, with privileged (Set-UID) programs and non-privileged programs alike. All programs were compiled using gcc and output was redirected into their respective files using i/o redirection.
