linpeas & pspy Helper

This repository contains a small Python utility that automates the setup of two common Linux privilege escalation tools in penetration testing labs:

• linpeas
• pspy

The script:

1. Searches for an existing linpeas binary or script on the local system and copies it into the current working directory.
2. Downloads the pspy binary from GitHub into the current working directory.
3. Makes both files executable.
4. Optionally starts a Python HTTP server to serve these files to a target host (for example, during a CTF or lab environment).

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Network access to GitHub (for downloading pspy)
• Optional but recommended:
  • locate installed and its database updated (updatedb) to speed up linpeas discovery if it exists on the system.

This script is primarily designed with Kali-like environments in mind.
