# Finding PE Vulns

Here is a list of commands and scripts that you can use to identify privilege escalation vulnerabilities in a Linux system.

## LinPeas

This is one of the best scripts out there to check for Privilege Escalation vulnerabilities in a Linux system. The script outputs color coded attack vectors that are indicative of most probable to least probable or impossible.

## Linux Exploit Suggester 1 & 2

LES can check for most of security settings available in your Linux kernel. The exposure for each exploit is listed from highly probable to least probable.

## Linuxprivchecker

This is another privilege escalation checker that relies on python. Needless to say it does a similar job as the LinPeas but using python.
