dirty_sock

Dirty Sock is a privilege escalation tool for Linux systems that exploits a vulnerability in the snapd API, allowing unauthorized user creation and root access. It provides two versions: the first requires an internet connection and SSH service to create a local user using Ubuntu SSO, while the second operates without these requirements, leveraging the installation of a "devmode" snap to execute arbitrary commands and bypass access controls. Notably, the tool can be used on both Ubuntu and other distributions with the snapd package installed, making it versatile in various environments.
