This project is a security auditing tool and vulnerability scanner designed to evaluate the security posture of Linux hosts. It functions as a privilege escalation auditor that scans running kernels for missing security patches and vulnerabilities to identify potential paths for gaining root access.
The utility performs kernel security analysis by matching system version strings against a database of known exploits. It audits kernel hardening settings and evaluates system exposure to categorize the probability of successful privilege escalation attacks.
The tool covers a broad range of assessment methodologies, including local security auditing, configuration file parsing, and runtime environment inspection. It automates the discovery of exploit paths by mapping discovered system attributes to publicly available exploit modules.
