Linux Exploit Suggester 2

Next-generation exploit suggester based on Linux_Exploit_Suggester

Key Improvements Include:

• More exploits!
• Option to download exploit code directly from Exploit DB
• Accurate wildcard matching. This expands the scope of searchable exploits.
• Output colorization for easy viewing.
• And more to come!

This script is extremely useful for quickly finding privilege escalation vulnerabilities both in on-site and exam environments.

Usage

When run without arguments, the script performs a 'uname -r' to grab the Linux operating system release version, and returns a list of possible exploits. Links to CVEs and applicable exploit POCs are included. Keep in mind that a patched/back-ported patch may fool this script.

$ ./linux-exploit-suggester-2.pl
