We can download LinPEAS directly from GitHub. Okay. We can run it stealthily by executing it in memory rather than uploading the file to the target. We'll set up a web server so that we can access the LinPEAS script from our target in order to run it. python3 -m http.server on port 80. We'll also set a listener up so that we can send our output directly back to Kali. nc -lp 2222 and we'll tee that into linpeas .out.
