I know that chmod -R 777 /
is extremely destructive, and I know that a chmod -R 000 /bin
can be recovered by using an additional disk, but I'm wondering about chmod -R 777 /bin
.
If I have a root shell, but no additional disk mounted from a healthy VM, can I recover this system?
(This question is for learning purposes as the actual box is not mine, nor was the mistake, and the box is already planned to be rebuilt.)
