linux-exploit-suggester

To find Linux privilege escalation exploits, you can use a script that maps running Linux versions to known privesc CVEs. It automates the identification of applicable local privilege escalation vulnerabilities for post-exploitation scenarios.

Yes, you can manually specify a Linux kernel version to check for applicable CVEs. The script supports manual kernel specification alongside automatic OS detail detection to suggest relevant privilege escalation exploits.

The best way to identify local privilege escalation CVEs is by matching the compromised system's kernel version against a database of known vulnerabilities. This process automates the discovery of applicable exploits to escalate privileges to root.

No dependencies are required to run the Linux exploit suggester. You can download and execute the script directly on the target Linux system to map running versions to known privesc CVEs.

To get detailed output when checking Linux kernel versions for known vulnerabilities, the script supports a verbose output mode. This provides expanded information regarding the suggested privilege escalation CVEs and exploits.
