What this card says
What it is
linPEAS and LinEnum are scripts that search a Linux box for ways to become root, in seconds.
How it works
linPEAS marks the best findings in colour.
Red/yellow = likely escalation path. It checks sudo rights, SUID, cron, writable files and more.

These tools only list weaknesses; you must understand them to know which are real.
