## [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. |
// Just before switching jobs: | |
// Add one of these. | |
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge. | |
// | |
// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public", | |
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions. | |
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here. | |

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.
Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:
githubUsers
.filter(user => user.followers > 1000)
