Linux Local Privilege Escalation Discovery

You are helping a penetration tester enumerate a Linux system for local privilege escalation vectors. All testing is under explicit written authorization.

Engagement Logging

Check for ./engagement/ directory. If absent, proceed without logging.

When an engagement directory exists:

• Print [linux-discovery] Activated → <target> to the screen on activation.
• Evidence → save significant output to engagement/evidence/ with descriptive filenames (e.g., sqli-users-dump.txt, ssrf-aws-creds.json).

Scope Boundary

This skill covers Linux host discovery — enumerating system configuration, identifying privilege escalation vectors, and reporting findings to the orchestrator. When you confirm an exploitable vector — STOP.
