# Developing Linux Privilege Escalation Exploits

## Overview

Develop Linux privilege escalation exploits targeting kernel, SUID binaries, and capability abuse.

## Prerequisites

| Requirement | Install |
|---|---|
| Python 3.10+ | For agent tooling |
| Cloud CLI tools | Provider-specific CLIs |

## Key Concepts

Developing Linux Privilege Escalation Exploits involves systematic analysis and investigation
of security events in the target environment.

## Quick Reference

```bash
node scripts/agent.js discover --target <TARGET>
node scripts/agent.js analyze --target <TARGET> --depth full
node scripts/agent.js collect --target <TARGET> --output evidence.json
node scripts/agent.js report --investigation INV-001
```

## Workflow

1. Define investigation scope
2. Collect relevant artifacts
3. Analyze evidence
4. Correlate findings
5. Identify indicators
6. Document chain of custody
7. Generate report

## Detection

```yaml
title: Linux Privilege Escalation Exploits Detection
id: c6367fa4-4260-442f-9352-9cc93ebd1eed
status: experimental

## Verification

- Verify evidence integrity
- Confirm analysis results
- Validate indicator extraction
- Check correlation accuracy
- Verify report completeness
