## What it is
A Perl script that suggests possible Linux kernel exploits based on the operating system release number (uname -r). It matches the kernel version against a list of known CVEs and public exploits.

## Use cases
- suggest kernel exploits for a linux box during a pentest
- find privilege escalation exploits by kernel version
- check which CVEs affect my linux kernel
- enumerate possible local exploits in a CTF or exam
- identify exploit-db entries for a given kernel release

## When to choose
- you need a quick, dependency-light check of likely kernel exploits on a Linux target
- you are doing penetration testing, CTFs, or security exams and want a shortlist of candidate exploits

## When to avoid
- you need a modern, maintained vulnerability scanner - the last release was 2014 and its exploit list is dated
- you need reliable results for patched or back-ported kernels, which can fool the version check
- you need full system vulnerability assessment beyond kernel exploits

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool

- function: security, penetration-testing, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, operating-systems
