PEASS-ng : Privilege Escalation Awesome Scripts SUITE new generation

PEASS-ng is a Privilege Escalation Awesome Scripts SUITE new generation. Here you will find privilege escalation tools for Windows and Linux/Unix* and MacOS.

These tools search for possible local privilege escalation paths that you could exploit and print them to you with nice colors so you can recognize the misconfigurations easily.

  • Check the Local Windows Privilege Escalation checklist from book.hacktricks.xyz

  • Check the Local Linux Privilege Escalation checklist from book.hacktricks.xyz
