What the reviewer found

A Linux privilege-escalation playbook under a blackbox-htb (Hack The Box style CTF) skill path: sudo/GTFOBins abuse, SSH key and credential-file searches, and piping linpeas.sh/LinEnum.sh into a shell are all techniques to run against an authorized target, not code this file runs against the person installing it. Dual-use security training, not malware.

• dual-use — a security tool that can be misused
• example-or-fixture — an example or test fixture

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 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.
