After solving several OSCP Challenges, we have decided to write an article on the various methods used for Linux privilege escalation, that can be helpful for our readers in their penetration testing project. In this article, we will learn “various methods to manipulate $PATH variable” to gain root access of a remote host machine and […]
Linux Privilege Escalation using Misconfigured NFS
After solving several OSCP Challenges we decided to write an article on the various methods used for Linux privilege escalation, which can be helpful for our readers in their penetration testing projects. In this article, we will learn how to exploit a misconfigured NFS share to gain root access to a remote host machine. Table […]
Linux Privilege Escalation using Sudo Rights
In our previous articles, we have discussed Linux Privilege Escalation using SUID Binaries and /etc/passwd file and today we are posting another method of “Linux privilege Escalation using Sudoers file”. While solving CTF challenges, for privilege escalation we always check root permissions for any user to execute any file or command by executing sudo -l […]
Linux Privilege Escalation using SUID Binaries
In our previous article we have discussed “Privilege Escalation in Linux using etc/passwd file” and today we will learn “Privilege Escalation in Linux using SUID Permission.” While solving CTF challenges we always check suid permissions for any file or command for privilege escalation. It is very important to know what SUID is, how to set […]
Editing /etc/passwd File for Privilege Escalation
In this article, we will focus on exploring diverse techniques to modify the etc/passwd file, enabling us to create or alter a user and grant them root privileges. It becomes crucial to understand how to edit your own user within the /etc/passwd file when dealing with privilege escalation on the compromised system. If you’re interested, […]
