Linux Exploit Suggester

Description

A tool that identifies potential kernel exploits for Linux privilege escalation by analyzing the target system's kernel version and comparing it against a database of known vulnerabilities. It helps quickly determine which kernel exploits may work on the target.

Usage 1: Run Linux Exploit Suggester

Execute the script on the target Linux system to get a list of potential kernel exploits.

Command:

./linux-exploit-suggester.sh

Notes

  • Transfer the script to the target machine, make it executable (chmod +x linux-exploit-suggester.sh), and run it.

  • Works by checking the kernel version against known exploitable vulnerabilities.
  • Use alongside other enumeration tools like LinEnum and LinPEAS for comprehensive coverage.
