Excerpt

LinPEAS Linux Privilege Escalation

Overview

LinPEAS (Linux Privilege Escalation Awesome Script) is the most comprehensive automated enumeration tool for identifying privilege escalation vectors on Linux systems. It checks 200+ attack vectors, color-codes findings by severity, and maps results to GTFOBins and MITRE ATT&CK.

IMPORTANT: Use only on systems where you have explicit written authorization. Unauthorized use constitutes computer fraud. All actions should be conducted within defined engagement scope.
