LinGhost - Linux Privilege Escalation Tool 👻

Saikat Karmakar | Aug : 2021

• This tool gives information about critical files which can be used for privilege escalation on linux/unix systems. It is heavily inspired by Linpease but more simple and intended to do CTF challenges like HackTheBox, TryHackme etc.

• I used the methods of HackTricks(https://book.hacktricks.xyz/linux-unix/privilege-escalation) and tried to keep this as simple as possible and beginner friendly.

Usage

git clone https://github.com/Aviksaikat/LinGhost
cd LinGhost
chmod +x ./linGhost.sh
./linGhost.sh

P.S. This is not a Linpease alternative. It"s for fun and CTF purpose only.
