That is a very, very bad idea. You are advertising the fact that your
system has poor security, and asking people to send you binaries. The
probable outcome is that somebody will send you a trojan.

If your system has been cracked, the first rule is always to take it
offline. The next step is to secure evidence, either by doing a level
0 dump of all file systems or by leaving the system untouched until
you have time to analyze the attack.

If you can't get root, press Ctrl-Alt-Del on the console and bring the
system up in single-user mode.

(OBTW, su must be suid to work so you need to *be* root to install it.
Getting a binary won't help you)
