LinPE - Linux Privilege Escalation (one-liner)

The goal of this script is to search for possible Privilege Escalatoin vectors inside a linux machine.

This script does not have any dependency.

There is not need even for bash shell, it runs using /bin/sh.

It could take from 2 to 3 minutes to execute the hole script (less than 1 min to make almost all the checks, almost 1 min to search for possible passwords inside files and 1 min to monitor the processes in order to find very frequent cron jobs).

This script have several lists included inside it to be able to color the results in order to help to discover PE vector.

The script automatically finds a writable directory and writes the output of the checks there. The first console output will be the path of the file created.

Checks

• System Information

• SO, kernel version & sudo version

• PATH, Date, time, selinux & env

• Useful software installed (special search for compilers)

• Processes (Current, Executed within a minute, Binary permissions)

• Services

• Scheduled tasks

• sd* disk in /dev, storage info, mem info, ummounted file-sys, printers

• Network Information

• Hostname, hosts & dns

• Intefaces, networks and neightbours

• Active ports

• Sniff permissions

• Users Information

• Info about current user (whoami, groups, sudo, PGPkeys)

• sudo -l without password

• Try to login using su as other users (using null pass and the username)

• List of superusers

• Login info

• Available users with console

• List of all users

• Software Information

• MySQl (Version, loging as "root:")

• PostgreSQL (Version, try login in "template0" and "template1" as: "postgres:", "psql:")

• Apache (Version)

• Wordpress (Database credentials)

• Tomcat (Credentials)

• Mongo (Version)

• Supervisor (Credentials)

• Cesi (Credentials)

• Rsyncd (Credentials)

• Hostapd (Credentials)

• Network (Credentials)

• Interesting Files

• Pkexec policy, SUID & SGID files

• Capabilities

• .sh scripts in PATH

• Reduced list of files inside home

• SSH files

• Mails

• NFS exports

• Hashes (passwd, shadow & master.passwd)

• Try to read root dir

• Check if Docker or LXC container

• List ALL writable files for current user (global, user and groups)

• Files that can contain passwords

• List of all hidden files

• Search buckup files

• Inside /tmp, /var/tmp and /var/backups

• Web files

• Search for backup files

• Get IPs, passwords and emails from logs

• "pwd" and "passw" inside files (and get most probable lines)

Colours

LinPE uses colors to indicate where does each section begins. But it also use them the identify potencial misconfigurations.

The Red/Yellow color is used for identifing configurations that lead to PE.

The Red color is used for identifing suspicious configurations that could lead to PE:

• Possible exploitable kernel versions
• Identify processes running as root
• Not mounted devices
• Dangerous fstab permissions
• Writable files in interesting directories
• SUID/SGID binaries that can be used to escalate privileges (https://gtfobins.github.io/)
• SUDO binaries that can be used to escalate privileges in sudo -l (without passwd) (https://gtfobins.github.io/)
• 127.0.0.1 in netstat
• Known files that could contain passwords
• Capabilities in interesting binaries
• Interesting capabilities of a binary
• Writable folders and wilcards inside info about cron jobs
• Writables folders in PATH
• Groups that could lead to root
• Files that could contains passwords

The Green color is used for:

• Usually not interesting devices to mount
• Not dangerous fstab permissions
• SUID common binaries (the bin was already found in other machines)
• SGID common binaries
• .sh files in path
• Common names of users executing processes

The Blue color is used for:

• Users without shell
• Mounted devices

The Light Cyan color is used for:

• Users with shell

The Light Magenta color is used for:

• Current username

The color filtering is not available in the one-liner (the lists are too big)

One liner

Here you have the script in one line, just copy and paste it;)

TODO: Update one-liner

The defult file where all the data is recorded is: /tmp/linPE (you can change it at the beginning of the script)
