privilege-escalation skillC
privilege-escalation is agent-read markdown (skill) from iuliandita/skills: Assess authorized Linux privilege escalation, container escapes, and post-exploitation paths in pentests and CTFs..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Privilege Escalation and Post-Exploitation Assessment Systematic privilege escalation methodology for authorized security assessments, CTF challenges, and penetration testing engagements. Covers Linux systems, containers, Kubernetes clusters, VPN infrastructure, and IaC credential exposure. This skill is offensive - it assumes you have initial access and guides escalation to higher privileges. For defensive hardening and vulnerability scanning, use the **security-audit** skill instead. ## When to use - Authorized penetration testing engagements (with written scope) - CTF challenges and security training labs (HTB, THM, PG, etc.) - Post-exploitation enumeration after gaining initial shell access - Red team exercises with defined rules of engagement - Assessing your own infrastructure for privilege escalation paths - Container escape and Kubernetes RBAC abuse testing - VPN credential extraction and lateral movement assessment ## When NOT to use - Defensive security reviews or hardening (use **security-audit**) - Application code vulnerability scanning / SAST (use **security-audit**) - VPN setup, configuration, or troubleshooting (use **networking**) …

How to install
mdr add iuliandita/skills/privilege-escalation@git:20260920.ebf9a3dmdr add iuliandita/skills/privilege-escalation@sha256:77fd83c40f484c22Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
