Living Off The Land (LOTL)

Advanced Security Enumeration and Privilege Escalation Tool
_{Developed by ibrahimsql}

🔍 Overview

Living Off The Land (LOTL) is a comprehensive security enumeration and privilege escalation tool for Linux and macOS systems. Inspired by tools like LinPEAS and LSE, LOTL automates the discovery of security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and privilege escalation vectors, making it an essential tool for security professionals, penetration testers, and system administrators.

The tool performs thorough system analysis without requiring user interaction, providing detailed, color-coded output to highlight security issues based on their severity.

✨ Key Features

System Security Analysis

• Full System Enumeration: Comprehensive scan of system configuration and security settings
• Privilege Escalation Detection: Identifies potential vectors for privilege escalation
• Permission Analysis: Discovers and analyzes SUID/SGID files and world-writable directories
• Credential Discovery: Locates exposed credentials and sensitive configuration files

Advanced Security Checks

• Sudo Rule Analysis: Detects exploitable sudo configurations and misconfigurations
• Cron Job Analysis: Identifies writable or exploitable scheduled tasks
• Kernel Vulnerability Scanning: Checks kernel version against known vulnerabilities
• CVE Detection: Includes specific scanning for CVES vulnerabilities

Environment Analysis

• Container Detection: Identifies container environments and potential escape vectors
• Docker Security: Analyzes Docker configurations and security issues
• Network Reconnaissance: Examines network interfaces, connections, and open ports
• Service Enumeration: Discovers running services and potential misconfigurations

User Experience

• Automatic Mode: Runs all checks without requiring user interaction
• Color-Coded Output: Easy-to-read results with color highlighting based on severity
• Detailed Reporting: Comprehensive output with explanations and remediation suggestions
• Multithreaded Scanning: Fast execution with parallel processing capabilities
