The provided code consists of two commands:

1. sudo su -:

   • This command switches the current user to the root user (the superuser with full system privileges).
   • sudo executes the su - command with superuser privileges.
   • su - logs in as the root user while loading that user's environment (such as environment variables and configuration from /root/.bashrc or /root/.profile).

2. ifconfig:

   • This command displays or configures the network interface settings of the system.
   • It shows information related to network interfaces like IP addresses, subnet masks, broadcast addresses, and network hardware (e.g., MAC addresses).

What happens when these commands are run together:

• Using sudo su -, the user becomes the root user with superuser privileges.
• Running ifconfig as the root user displays details about the system's network interfaces and configurations.

Note: In modern Linux distributions, ifconfig has been deprecated in favor of the ip command (ip a) for managing and viewing network interfaces. If ifconfig isn't available, an error may occur unless the net-tools package is installed.
