A shell-based auditing tool that assesses a Linux system's exposure to publicly known kernel privilege escalation exploits based on kernel version and distribution heuristics. It also checks the state of kernel hardening security measures and suggests applicable CVEs with exploit details and download links.

Use cases

• find linux privilege escalation exploits for a kernel
• audit linux server for known kernel vulnerabilities
• check which CVEs affect my linux kernel version
• enumerate local privilege escalation vectors during pentest
• verify kernel hardening settings on a linux machine
• suggest applicable exploits for a CTF target

When to choose

• you need a quick, dependency-free shell script to assess LPE exposure on a Linux host
• you are doing penetration testing, red teaming, or CTF challenges involving Linux privilege escalation
• you want CVE-mapped exploit suggestions with exposure probability and PoC download links

When to avoid

• you need comprehensive vulnerability scanning beyond kernel privilege escalation
• you require a GUI or automated remediation rather than manual analysis
• you are auditing non-Linux operating systems
