Advanced Linux Priviledge Escalation For OSCP & Beyond!

Download the pre-installed Kali Linux virtual machine, choose the appropriate 64-bit or 32-bit option, and import it into VMware or your preferred virtualization software after unzipping.

Log into a pre-installed Kali Linux VM, set a root password, and secure the system by enabling PostgreSQL, then update and upgrade packages before customizing the desktop.

Explore initial enumeration checks to identify privilege escalation vectors using Kali Linux, OpenVPN connections, and TryHackMe labs for Linux privilege escalation practice.

Perform user enumeration checks to identify who you are on a new system, using commands like id, whoami, sudo -l, and examining /etc/passwd and history files for credentials.

Use a practical privilege-escalation cheat sheet for initial enumeration, shell upgrades, and system information, including whoami, hostname, uname -a, /etc/shadow permissions, and suid/sgid checks.

Discover the top Linux privilege escalation resources and tools, including a comprehensive enumeration checklist and scripts like linPEZ, linenum, linux-smart-enumeration, and linux-express-suggester for OSCP readiness.

Explore automated tools for Linux privilege escalation, focusing on linpys, linenum, Linux express suggestor, and Linux smart enumeration, with guided setup and documentation reading.

Discover how linpeas automates linux privilege escalation checks, highlighting red or yellow vectors and common misconfigurations to exploit in OSCP-like scenarios.

Engage in hands-on Linux privilege escalation using free labs, including Linux Privesk Arena and Linux Privilege Escalation Room. Connect via VPN and SSH to exploit vulnerabilities and kernel exploits.

Identify weak file permissions on the /etc/shadow file and the resulting privilege escalation risk. Extract and crack hashes with unshadow, hashcat, and john the ripper using roku.txt.

Explains abusing sudo, via sudo -l detection, to read the shadow file through Apache 2, extract the root hash, and crack it with a word list.

Explore SUID shared object injection as a privilege escalation vector, learn to detect SUID binaries, and follow a walkthrough that demonstrates escalating to root via a crafted shared object.

Investigate the cron file override privilege escalation vector by examining the cron tab and override.sh for misconfigurations. Show how a world-writable script and a setuid bash can yield root access.

Enumerate a target system by gathering hostname, kernel version, distro, and Python version, identify CVEs, and explore automated enumeration tools for privilege escalation practice.

Demonstrate how suid binaries enable privilege escalation on linux by finding sgid/setuid binaries, reading /etc/shadow, cracking a hash, switching to user 2, and reading flag3.txt.

Explore NFS privilege escalation using no_root_squash on identified mountable shares, mount them, compile a payload, and verify root access through a TryHackMe walkthrough toward a capstone challenge.

Unlock Linux privilege escalation through a capstone challenge that guides you from initial enumeration to root, using sudo exploits, suid/sgid binaries, shadow file access, hash cracking, and flag discovery.
