Trying to change execute permission on file owned by root:root
Running Kali 2021.3
ls -la reads as the following
-rw-r-- r-- 1 root root 0 Oct 13 09:53 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I have tried sudo chmod 744 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
I receive chmod: changing permissions of '/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward': Operation not permitted.
I have also tried logging on as root directly and still the same issue
same goes for sudo chmod +x /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Joe
"It is allowed on all hands, that the primitive way of breaking eggs, before we eat them, was upon the larger end; but his present majesty's grandfather, while he was a boy, going to eat an egg, and breaking it according to the ancient practice, happened to cut one of his fingers. Whereupon the emperor his father published an edict, commanding all his subjects, upon great penalties, to break the smaller end of their eggs." Jonathan Swift
