About LinPEAS
LinPEAS (Linux Privilege Escalation Awesome Script) is a comprehensive enumeration script that searches for possible paths to escalate privileges on Linux hosts. It checks for misconfigurations, SUID/SGID binaries, writable files, cron jobs, kernel exploits, interesting files, credentials in configuration files, and much more. LinPEAS is part of the PEASS-ng suite which also includes WinPEAS for Windows. It's the first tool most pentesters run after gaining initial access to a Linux system.
