What the reviewer found

Reference for LinPEAS, the well-known open-source Linux privilege-escalation enumeration tool; the curl|bash downloads the official release from carlospolop/PEASS-ng and the /etc/shadow and SSH-key rows list what LinPEAS checks. Dual-use pentest content, output stays in local files.

• dual-use — a security tool that can be misused
• network — calls the vendor’s API

How this review was made

Fable 5.1 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
