Linux Pentester Practical Commands is a reference collection of command-line operations organized by penetration testing phase. It covers reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, privilege escalation, and post-exploitation workflows with real-world examples used in security assessments and CTF exercises.
Linux Pentesting Commands organizes shell commands across the full penetration testing lifecycle: reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, privilege escalation, and post-exploitation. It covers reconnaissance techniques, service discovery, SUID/capability enumeration, reverse shells, sudo exploitation, and persistence methods with practical examples.
Privesc Linpeas runs comprehensive post-exploitation scans to uncover privilege escalation opportunities on Linux systems, checking for SUID/SGID binaries, sudo misconfigurations, exposed credentials, and kernel vulnerabilities. Results are color-coded by severity and mapped to exploitation techniques, enabling rapid identification of the highest-confidence escalation paths during authorized penetration tests and red team engagements.
This skill guides you through methodical privilege escalation assessments on Linux systems, covering enumeration of kernel exploits, sudo misconfigurations, SUID binaries, capabilities, cron jobs, PATH hijacking, and NFS weaknesses. It provides workflows for identifying attack vectors and executing exploitation techniques to achieve root-level access from a low-privilege shell.
Linux Discovery helps penetration testers systematically identify privilege escalation opportunities on Linux hosts through enumeration of system configuration, sudo settings, group memberships, and kernel vulnerabilities. The skill gathers baseline system information, analyzes user context and permissions, and maps exploitable vectors while respecting scope boundaries and engagement logging.
Mode Exploit structures your security research workflow from vulnerability analysis through exploit development and testing. It provides Python templates and common payload patterns to streamline writing exploits, proofs of concept, and reverse shells in a controlled lab environment.
