offensive-linux-privesc

offensive-linux-privesc is a Penetration testing & red team skill for AI agents, published by SnailSploit in the Claude-Red repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates offensive-linux-privesc F (15/100) and the safety scan rated it unsafe; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Comprehensive Linux privilege escalation methodology for offensive security engagements. Covers the full attack surface from a low-privilege shell to root: SUID/SGID binary abuse via GTFOBins, Linux capabilities exploitation (cap_setuid, cap_dac_override, cap_dac_read_search), sudo misconfigurations including NOPASSWD rules and Baron Samedit (CVE-2021-3156), cron job abuse through writable scripts, PATH hijacking, and wildcard injection with tar/rsync/chown. Includes writable /etc/passwd attacks, NFS no_root_squash exploitation, kernel exploits (DirtyPipe CVE-2022-0847, DirtyCow CVE-2016-5195, PwnKit CVE-2021-4034), Docker group container escapes, LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH hijacking for shared library injection, systemd service misconfigurations, and sensitive file enumeration for credential harvesting. Integrates automated enumeration with LinPEAS, linux-exploit-suggester, pspy for process monitoring, and GTFOBins for binary exploitation. Each technique includes detection…
