Systematic Linux privilege-escalation enumeration methodology — ordered phases covering sudo, SUID/SGID, capabilities, cron, writable paths, NFS, kernel CVEs, and GTFOBins lookup, grounded in LLM-assisted autonomous privesc research (hackingBuddyGPT/ipa-lab).

# Linux Privilege Escalation — Systematic Enumeration Methodology

Grounded in autonomous privesc research (Happe & Cito, ESEC/FSE 2023 — hackingBuddyGPT) which empirically validated that ordered, phase-driven enumeration with state tracking outperforms ad hoc command execution. Follow phases in priority order; stop at first exploitable finding and validate before moving to the next phase.

**Authorized use only.** Run only on systems you own or have explicit written permission to test.

## Phase 0 — Situational Awareness (always first)

Establish identity, OS, and architecture before anything else. Every later phase depends on this context.
