Linux Privilege Escalation

No ratings

Presented at BSidesLV 2024 by

Attackers never stop at initial compromise; there is always an end goal objective which often requires privileged access to specific devices or systems. Identifying the correct privilege escalation vector can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, however with the right approach and understanding of the various controls in play, gaining full control can often be a safe assumption in many instances following initial foothold. This workshop aims to equip those likely to find themselves with an initial foothold, with the skills to practically exploit a given privilege escalation vector on the target Linux system.
