Linux Privilege Escalation

This walks you through systematic privilege escalation on Linux systems once you've already got a low-privilege shell. It covers the standard attack surface: kernel exploits, sudo misconfigurations, SUID binaries, capabilities, cron jobs, and PATH hijacking. The workflow is thorough, from basic enumeration commands through automated tools like LinPEAS, then into specific exploitation techniques with code snippets for LD_PRELOAD attacks, capability abuse, and writing malicious cron scripts. It's structured as a penetration testing playbook rather than a conversational assistant task. You need proper authorization before running any of this. The examples are concrete and pull from real references like GTFOBins, which makes it genuinely useful for authorized security assessments or red team exercises where you need to demonstrate what's exploitable on a hardened system.
