getexploit

Name

getexploit - pull down the linux exploit suggester

Synopsis

getexploit

Description

This function simply pulls down the "Linux Local Exploit Suggester" and runs it without touching disc. It may help a bunch in figuring out what possible local holes there are to exploit if you are not yet root and wish to elevate privileges.

getexploit writes the report to stdout.

getexploit needs https access to Github. A proxy could be set in https_proxy shell variable.

Restriction

As of this time, it doesn't allow passing any arguments and just runs the utility with its default output - which can be quite lengthy.

Example

Run the function. There are no command line arguments.

$ getexploit

Load the script file from Github via proxy.

$ https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080
$ getexploit
