Overview

This book is the second of a series of How To Pass OSCP books and focus on techniques used in Linux Privilege Escalation.

This book will walk you through the whole process of how to escalate privilege in a Linux environment using many common techniques. We start by gathering as much information about the target as possible either manually or using automated scripts. Next, we search for misconfigured Cron jobs, suid misconfiguration, bad path configuration, vulnerable kernel, vulnerable software running with high privileges, writable scripts invoked by root, sensitive information stored on local files, credentials saved in the memory, hard-coded credential contained in the application configuration files, and many more.

Who this book is for?

If you are a cybersecurity professional who wants to be certified as an Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP), then this book is for you. It is also for those who want to learn about offensive security, Linux security and configuration, and penetration testing.

Since everyone's background and experience are different, the author wrote this book in the way that you can pick any chapter that sounds interesting to you and flip to it, rather than starting at the very beginning.
