Course Curriculum

Privilege Escalation â€“ Linux Course Modules

Learn advanced Linux privilege escalation techniques used by penetration testers to gain root-level access through misconfigurations, kernel exploits, scheduled tasks, container weaknesses, and automation tools.

Introduction to Linux Privilege Escalation

Understand the core methodology of Linux PrivEsc. This module covers the systematic approach to identifying security flaws, misconfigurations, and kernel vulnerabilities that allow a user to gain Root access.

Lab Overview

Get introduced to the controlled environment where you will practice exploitation. This module ensures your attack machine and target labs are properly configured for safe, hands-on privilege escalation testing.

Initial Enumeration

Master the art of manual system discovery. Learn to gather critical information about the OS version, active users, and network configurations to find the most efficient path to administrative control.

Exploring Automated Tools

Leverage powerful scripts like LinPEAS and Lynis. Learn to use these automated tools to rapidly scan the entire filesystem for weak permissions, hidden files, and common configuration errors.

Kernel Exploits

Understand how to exploit vulnerabilities within the Linux Kernel. Learn to identify outdated versions and execute exploits that target the core system to gain immediate, high-level Root privileges.

Password & File Permissions

Analyze the filesystem for sensitive data. Learn to find plaintext passwords in configuration files and exploit weak file permissions that allow unauthorized access to protected system data and scripts.

Sudo Misconfigurations

Master the exploitation of Sudo rights. Learn to identify misconfigured sudoers files and leverage permitted commands to bypass security restrictions and execute arbitrary code as the Root user.

SUID Exploitation

Explore the dangers of Set User ID (SUID) binaries. Learn to identify files that run with root privileges and exploit them to spawn an elevated shell or read protected files.

Linux Capabilities

Understand Linux Capabilities, which provide fine-grained control over system permissions. Learn to identify overly permissive capabilities assigned to binaries and exploit them to escalate your privileges to Root.

Scheduled Tasks Exploitation

Exploit Cron jobs and scheduled tasks. Learn to identify scripts running as root with weak permissions, allowing you to modify them and execute malicious code during the next scheduled cycle.

NFS Root Squashing Exploitation

Master the exploitation of Network File System (NFS) misconfigurations. Learn how "no_root_squash" allows an attacker to create suid binaries on a remote share to gain root access on the host.

Docker Privilege Escalation

Analyze the security risks of Docker containers. Learn how being part of the Docker group can lead to full host compromise by mounting the host's root filesystem inside a container.

Privilege Escalation Challenge Lab

Test your skills in a final, hands-on Linux PrivEsc challenge. Use everything youâ€™ve learned to navigate a hardened environment, identify critical flaws, and successfully achieve full Root-level compromise.
