Linux Kernel Vulnerability Exploiting - Kernelpop

What is Kernelpop ?

kernel privilege escalation enumeration and exploitation framework

Supports the following OS’s

Linux
Mac
Windows - Coming soon

Example of enumeration to root

default mode (passive)

The default mode runs with the command python3 kernelpop.py. This processes information about the host kernel and compares it to the known kernel exploits available to the program. It then outputs a list of potentially useful vulnerabilities and attached exploits.

exploit mode NEW (active)

The exploit mode is run with the -e flag. This dynamically compiles and runs the exploit source code with stdio interactions inside the program! It can catch interrupts from short-stopped attempts as well

brute-enumeration mode (active)

The brute-enumeration mode performs the same checks as the default mode, but then goes beyond and checks the computer for exploit prerequisites to see if the operating system is set up in the required vulnerable state for successful exploitation.

brute-enumeration mode (active)

The brute-enumeration mode performs the same checks as the default mode, but then goes beyond and checks the computer for exploit prerequisites to see if the operating system is set up in the required vulnerable state for successful exploitation.

input mode (passive)

The input mode allows you to perform enumeration with just the output of a uname -a command, which makes it useful as a host-side only enumeration tool.
