Here you will find PEASS privilege escalation tools for Windows and Linux/Unix* (in some near future also for Mac). 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.
Let’s improve PEASS together
If you want to add something and have any cool idea related to this project, please let me know it in the telegram group https://t.me/peass or using github issues and we will update the master version.
