Linux Kernel Exploitation
Kernel exploits on Linux will typically target vulnerabilities In the Linux kernel to execute arbitrary code in order to run privileged system commands or to obtain a system shell.
This process will differ based on the Kernel version and distribution being targeted and the kernel exploit being used.
Privilege escalation on Linux systems will typically follow the following methodology:
Identifying kernel vulnerabilities
Downloading, compiling and transferring kernel exploits onto the target system.
Tools & Environment
Linux-Exploit-Suggester- This tool is designed to assist in detecting security deficiencies for given Linux kernel/Linux-based machine. It assesses (using heuristics methods) the exposure of the given kernel on every publicly known Linux kernel exploit.
