```
unix-privesc-check v1.4 ( http://pentestmonkey.net/tools/unix-privesc-check )
Usage: unix-privesc-check { standard | detailed }
"standard" mode: Speed-optimised check of lots of security settings.
"detailed" mode: Same as standard mode, but also checks perms of open file
handles and called files (e.g. parsed from shell scripts,
linked .so files). This mode is slow and prone to false
positives but might help you find more subtle flaws in 3rd
party programs.
This script checks file permissions and other settings that could allow
local users to escalate privileges.
Use of this script is only permitted on systems which you have been granted
legal permission to perform a security assessment of. Apart from this
condition the GPL v2 applies.
Search the output for the word 'WARNING'. If you don't see it then this
script didn't find any problems.
