PrivescCheck is a local privilege escalation reconnaissance tool for Unix-like systems that automates common checks auditors and system owners run when looking for misconfigurations. It enumerates kernel versions, installed packages, SUID/SGID binaries, world-writable files and directories, services, cron jobs, and user/group permissions to highlight likely escalation paths.

...The project organizes detection logic into per-event modules (for example, process creation, file create, network connection, registry events, image load, and many more) so operators can pick and choose which rules to enable without editing a monolithic XML by hand. It includes pre-generated configuration variants (balanced, default with FileDelete, verbose, super-verbose, and a Microsoft Defender for Endpoint augmentation) to cover common use cases while warning about the performance tradeoffs of very verbose settings. The repo ships helper tooling (PowerShell and Python scripts) to merge selected modules into a final sysmonconfig.xml, automating CI builds and allowing repeatable config generation.
