Description: LES: Linux privilege escalation auditing tool
This package contains a Linux privilege escalation auditing tool. It's
designed to assist in detecting security deficiencies for given Linux
kernel/Linux-based machine. It provides following functionality:
- Assessing kernel exposure on publicly known exploits
Tool assesses (using heuristics methods discussed in details here) exposure of
the given kernel on every publicly known Linux kernel exploit. For each
exploit, exposure is calculated
- Verifying state of kernel hardening security measures
LES can check for most of security settings available by your Linux kernel. It
verifies not only the kernel compile-time configurations (CONFIGs) but also
verifies run-time settings (sysctl) giving more complete picture of security
posture for running kernel. This functionality is modern continuation of
--kernel switch from checksec.sh tool by Tobias Klein.
