Privilege Escalation
pspy
Monitor Linux processes without root to catch cron jobs and short-lived commands.
Authorized testing only. Practice on systems you own, isolated labs, or targets with written permission. Unauthorized access is illegal.
When
Looking for processes/cron commands that expose credentials.
How
Run pspy64; watch for repeating jobs and command lines.
Why
Catches secrets that static file enum misses.
Commands & usage
./pspy64 -pf -i 1000
Commands are educational examples. Adapt hosts, paths, and rates to your authorized scope.
