There should be one "." (dot) and one "/" (slash) infront of the executable (binary.
we call them binaries in *nix environments). The other way that you can try is:
sh binary.bin
If you still get a permission error that is because you have a program on your
computer that will not allow you to write to certain partitions as anyone, even root!
To write to them, you would have to reboot and hop into single user mode and then log
in as root but that is getting ahead of our self.If that doesn't help you, I have one
question to ask. What level of security are you playing with anyway, by the way?
