By default, **linpeas won't write anything to disk and won't try to login as any other user using `su`**.

LinPEAS keeps expanding vendor-specific coverage; as of 29-Nov-2025 it warns when IGEL OS appliances still ship the SUID `setup`/`date` helpers that allow NetworkManager/systemd configuration hijacking (Metasploit module `linux/local/igel_network_priv_esc`).


By default linpeas takes around **4 mins** to complete, but It could take from **5 to 10 minutes** to execute all the checks using **-a** parameter *(Recommended option for CTFs)*:
- From less than 1 min to 2 mins to make almost all the checks
- Almost 1 min to search for possible passwords inside all the accesible files of the system

# Title: Interesting Permissions Files - IGEL OS SUID setup/date abuse
# ID: IP_IGEL_OS_SUID
# Author: HT Bot
# Last Update: 29-11-2025
# Description: Detect IGEL OS environments that expose the SUID-root `setup`/`date` binaries and highlight writable NetworkManager/systemd configs that enable the documented privilege escalation chain (Metasploit linux/local/igel_network_priv_esc).

# Functions Used: print_2title, print_info
# Global Variables: $ITALIC, $NC, $SED_GREEN, $SED_RED, $SED_RED_YELLOW, $SUPERFAST
# Initial Functions:
# Generated Global Variables: $igel_markers, $igel_marker_sources, $marker, $igel_suid_hits, $candidate, $writable_nm, $writable_systemd, $unitdir, $tmp_units
