Privilege-Escalation

Privilege Escalation is a practical cybersecurity reference for learning how attackers gain higher permissions after obtaining initial access to a system. It is aimed at CTF players, penetration testers, and beginners studying post-exploitation techniques in controlled environments. The repository organizes material by common escalation vectors instead of presenting a single automated tool. Topics include sudo permissions, SUID binaries, kernel weaknesses, scheduled jobs, Linux capabilities, writable files, containers, databases, and network services. Individual guides connect these concepts to vulnerable lab machines and CTF examples. This structure helps learners recognize recurring misconfigurations and understand why they create security risk. The collection is primarily focused on Linux-oriented privilege escalation and educational security practice.
