gtfobinSUID V1.2

Developed by strikoder

gtfobinSUID is a lightweight Python tool for automating SUID/SGID binary enumeration. It compares discovered binaries against the GTFOBins database and supports both online and offline modes. In offline mode, it uses a local database file (db.txt), which can be automatically updated by scraping the latest entries from GTFOBins.

🔹 Features

  • Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • Handles versioned binary names (python3, perl5.42, etc.)
  • Prints the command to enumerate SUID/GUID on Linux systems on demand
  • Minimal, no dependencies beyond requests (likely preinstalled on Kali Linux)
  • Shows hints for binaries that might have vulnearbilites when they have SUID enabled like pkexec and sudo
  • Checks if a binary exists on GTFOBins under SUID or Limited SUID and prints [FOUND], [FOUND - Limited SUID], or [NOT FOUND] as it processes

Flags

  • --online (Default): fetches live data directly from GTFOBins
  • --update-db: automatically pulls all GTFOBins SUID and Limited SUID entries
  • --offline (Auto-Switch with no network): uses a local db.txt for environments without internet

Installation

Choose your preferred installation method:

Method 1: pipx

Install in an isolated environment using pipx:

pipx install gtfobinsuid

Method 2: pip

Install globally or in a virtual environment:

pip3 install gtfobinsuid

Method 3: From Source

Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/strikoder/gtfobinSUID.git
cd gtfobinsuid
pip install requests

Method 4: Standalone Script

Download and run directly without installation:

Using wget:

wget -q -O gtfobinsuid.py "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strikoder/gtfobinSUID/main/gtfobinsuid.py"
chmod +x gtfobinsuid.py
./gtfobinsuid.py

Using curl:

curl -sL -o gtfobinsuid.py "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strikoder/gtfobinSUID/main/gtfobinsuid.py"
chmod +x gtfobinsuid.py
./gtfobinsuid.py

Usage

1. Basic usage

Paste your SUID/SGID enum output directly:

python3 gtfobinsuid.py

Then paste something like:

/usr/bin/find
/usr/bin/passwd
/usr/bin/sudo
/bin/mount

Press Ctrl+d (Linux/macOS) or Ctrl+z + Enter (Windows) to finish.
You’ll see immediate output:

[FOUND] find -> https://gtfobins.github.io/gtfobins/find/
[NOT FOUND] sudo
    [!] HINT: 'sudo' with SUID might indicate CVE exploits or misconfigurations (check Baron Samedit & version vulnerabilities)
[NOT FOUND] mount

2. Force online or offline

  • Force online only:
    python3 gtfobinsuid.py --online
    
  • Force offline mode (requires db.txt):
    python3 gtfobinsuid.py --offline
    

3. Update the local database

You can refresh db.txt automatically from GTFOBins:

python3 gtfobinsuid.py --update-db

This will:

  • Fetch all SUID and Limited SUID binaries directly from the GTFOBins website
  • Save them to db.txt
  • Print how many entries were found

Example output:

[*] Fetching GTFOBins lists...
[+] Database updated successfully: db.txt
    195 SUID entries
    64 Limited SUID entries

How it works

  1. Extracts basenames from your pasted enumeration results.
    Example: /usr/bin/sudo → sudo
  2. Checks each binary:
    • If online: queries the GTFOBins page for that binary.
    • If offline: looks up the name in db.txt.
  3. Prints result immediately for each binary.
