Privilege Escalation: From Standard User to Root via SUID Exploit

In this video, we walk through a real-world Linux privilege escalation scenario using a misconfigured SUID bit on Vim. First, we explain what the SUID bit is and why it matters. Then, we simulate a careless sysadmin setting the SUID bit on Vim—unknowingly creating a security risk. Finally, we switch perspectives to a hacker who gains access as a regular user, discovers the vulnerability using find -perm -4000, and leverages GTFOBins to escalate to root. This demo highlights the importance of auditing SUID binaries and understanding how everyday tools can become dangerous when misconfigured. 🔒 Topics Covered: • What is the SUID bit in Linux • How SUID can be exploited • Using find to locate vulnerable binaries • GTFOBins walkthrough • Privilege escalation with Vim
