Privilege Escalation Awesome Scripts Suite

This project is a post-exploitation framework and privilege escalation script suite designed to scan local system configurations for security gaps. It serves as a system enumeration toolset used to identify paths for gaining higher administrative privileges on a target host.

The suite incorporates capabilities for security penetration testing and vulnerability assessment reporting. It uses shell-based system enumeration and pattern-based vulnerability matching to detect misconfigurations, while employing heuristic-based permission analysis to evaluate system flags.

Findings are gathered through system enumeration analysis and can be exported into structured JSON, HTML, or PDF formats for reporting. The framework utilizes cross-platform scripting logic to maintain consistent scanning logic across different operating systems.

Features

  • Privilege Escalation Tools - Identifies local system misconfigurations to determine paths for gaining higher administrative privileges.
  • Vulnerability - Compares system outputs against known weak configurations or version strings to identify potential exploits.
  • Local System Enumeration Toolsets - Provides a toolset for gathering detailed system information and exporting findings in multiple structured formats.
  • Heuristic Permission Analysis - Analyzes file permissions and system flags to detect potential paths for elevating user privileges.
  • System Enumeration Tools - Executes native operating system commands to gather configuration data and identify security misconfigurations.
  • Post-Exploitation Frameworks - Serves as a framework for gathering data and elevating permissions on compromised target hosts.
  • Security Enumeration Summaries - Gathers detailed system information and exports findings to identify vulnerabilities during security assessments.
  • Penetration Testing Suites - Provides a collection of scripts to automate the identification of privilege escalation vulnerabilities.
  • Privilege Escalation - Comprehensive privilege escalation enumeration scripts.
  • Privilege Escalation Tools - Collection of scripts for Linux privilege escalation.
