GitHub Stats
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.
About WinPwn
WinPwn is an automation framework for Windows internal penetration testing that combines dozens of offensive tools and techniques into a single PowerShell script. It performs automated reconnaissance (AD enumeration, network scanning, share hunting), privilege escalation checks, credential extraction (SAM, LSA, DPAPI, browser passwords), lateral movement, and persistence. WinPwn integrates with tools like Rubeus, SharpHound, Mimikatz, and Seatbelt, downloading and executing them in-memory. It is designed for situations where a tester has initial access to a Windows domain environment and needs rapid comprehensive assessment.
