SUDO_KILLER is a Shell-based security tool that audits Linux systems for sudo-related privilege escalation vectors, including misconfigurations, vulnerable sudo versions (CVEs), dangerous binaries (GTFOBINS), and risky environment variables. It provides a catalog of commands and local exploits for manual escalation rather than performing automated exploitation.

Use cases

• find sudo misconfigurations for privilege escalation on a linux box
• identify exploitable sudo CVEs during a pentest
• prepare for OSCP or CTF privilege escalation challenges
• audit sudo rules and dangerous binaries as a system administrator
• enumerate GTFOBINS binaries that can be abused for root
• harvest credentials and detect writable script directories during an assessment

When to choose

• you need a focused enumeration tool for sudo-based privilege escalation on Linux
• you want suggested escalation paths but prefer to exploit manually
• you are a pentester, CTF player, or student practicing Linux privesc

When to avoid

• you need automated exploitation rather than a catalog of manual steps
• you are auditing Windows or macOS privilege escalation
• you need a general-purpose Linux enumeration tool beyond sudo (e.g., LinPEAS)
