Linux Exploit Suggester; suggests possible exploits based on the Linux operating system release number.
Checked November 2026.
Linux Exploit Suggester; based on operating system release number. This program run without arguments will perform a 'uname -r' to grab the Linux Operating Systems release version, and return a suggestive list of possible exploits. Nothing fancy, so a patched/back-ported patch may fool this script.
Additionally possible to provide '-k' flag to manually enter the Kernel Version/Operating System Release Version. This script has been extremely useful on site and in exams. Now Open-sourced under GPLv2.
