After gaining initial shell access, it&rsquo;s important to check for the following details:</p> <ul> <li><strong>OS Version</strong></li> <li><strong>Kernel Version</strong></li> <li><strong>Running Services</strong></li> </ul> <h2 id="situational-awareness">Situational Awareness<a class="td-heading-self-link" href="#situational-awareness" aria-label="Heading self-link"></a></h2> <p>After getting a shell onto a Linux target, we should try to run a few commands to orient ourselves:</p> <ul> <li><code>whoami</code>: username</li> <li><code>id</code>: group membership</li> <li><code>hostname</code>: server hostname (naming convention?)</li> <li><code>ifconfig</code> / <code>ip a</code>: Network address(es)?</li> <li><code>sudo -l</code>: Sudo permissions? With or without password?</li> </ul> <h2 id="operating-system-information">Operating System Information<a class="td-heading-self-link" href="#operating-system-information" aria-label="Heading self-link"></a></h2> <h3 id="linux-distribution">Linux Distribution<a class="td-heading-self-link" href="#linux-distribution" aria-label="Heading self-link"></a></h3> <p>We also want to know what Linux Distribution is running on the target. Different distros have different tools and utilities available on the system that may aid our privilege escalation.</p>
