# LinGhost - Linux Privilege Escalation Tool 👻

> Saikat Karmakar | Aug : 2021

![](images/untitled.svg)

- This tool gives information about critical files which can be used for privilege escalation on linux/unix systems. It is heavily inspired by `Linpease` but more simple and intended to do CTF challenges like HackTheBox, TryHackme etc.

- I used the methods of `HackTricks`(https://book.hacktricks.xyz/linux-unix/privilege-escalation) and tried to keep this as simple as possible and beginner friendly.

#### Usage

```bash

git clone https://github.com/Aviksaikat/LinGhost

cd LinGhost

chmod +x ./linGhost.sh

./linGhost.sh

```
