- inputs: {"age_days": 4761, "days_push": 1092, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
LinEnum is a shell script that performs scripted local Linux enumeration and privilege escalation checks. It gathers system, user, network, and service information and flags potential privilege escalation vectors.

## Use cases
- enumerate a linux host for privilege escalation
- find misconfigured sudo permissions on a server
- audit cron jobs and world-writable files
- gather system info during a pentest
- check for weak credentials and restricted file access
- ctf linux box enumeration

## When to choose
- you need a single self-contained shell script with no dependencies
- you want quick local enumeration on a linux target
- you are doing CTF or authorized penetration testing

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with active development
- you want a full vulnerability scanner rather than an enumerator
- you cannot run scripts on the target host

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, operating-systems
- platform: cli
- tags: privilege-escalation, enumeration, shell-script, ctf, pentest, command-line, linux
