linux privilege escalation

SKILL.md

Execute systematic privilege escalation assessments on Linux systems to identify and exploit misconfigurations, vulnerable services, and security weaknesses that allow elevation from low-privilege user access to root-level control. This skill enables comprehensive enumeration and exploitation of kernel vulnerabilities, sudo misconfigurations, SUID binaries, cron jobs, capabilities, PATH hijacking, and NFS weaknesses.

Basic System Information Gather fundamental system details for vulnerability research:

| 2.6.x - 3.x | Dirty COW | CVE-2016-5195 | | 4.4.x - 4.13.x | Double Fetch | CVE-2017-16995 | | 5.8+ | Dirty Pipe | CVE-2022-0847 |

This skill should be used when the user asks to "escalate privileges on Linux", "find privesc vectors on Linux systems", "exploit sudo misconfigurations", "abuse SUID binaries", "exploit cron jobs for root access", "enumerate Linux systems for privilege escalation", or "gain root access from low-privilege shell". It provides comprehensive techniques for identifying and exploiting privilege escalation paths on Linux systems. Source: jpropato/siba.
