# SKILL: Linux Lateral Movement — Expert Attack Playbook

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Expert Linux lateral movement techniques. Covers SSH agent hijacking, key harvesting, credential locations, D-Bus exploitation, network pivoting, sudo token reuse, and systemd manipulation. Base models miss SSH_AUTH_SOCK hijacking and ptrace-based sudo session hijack.

Before going deep, consider loading:

- [linux-privilege-escalation](../linux-privilege-escalation/SKILL.md) if you need root on the current host before pivoting
- [linux-security-bypass](../linux-security-bypass/SKILL.md) when restricted shells or security modules block lateral movement tools
- [container-escape-techniques](../container-escape-techniques/SKILL.md) when the target network includes containerized hosts
- [kubernetes-pentesting](../kubernetes-pentesting/SKILL.md) when pivoting into a Kubernetes cluster
- [unauthorized-access-common-services](../unauthorized-access-common-services/SKILL.md) for exploiting discovered internal services (Redis, MongoDB, etc.)
