Linux Persistence Toolkit (linper) is a Bash-based security research utility designed for penetration-testing labs and authorized red-team exercises.
It focuses on enumerating, testing, and cleaning persistence mechanisms commonly found on Linux systems.
- Defensive security testing
- Red-team / blue-team labs
- Post-exploitation research
- Detection engineering validation
Legal & Ethical Notice :
This tool is intended only for educational purposes and authorized environments.
- Enumeration of persistence-capable binaries and services
- Multiple persistence vectors (cron, systemd, shell init files, web roots)
- Dry-run mode for safe inspection without system modification
- Cleanup mode to remove artifacts created by the tool
- Writable directory discovery for temporary files
- Optional stealth-oriented modifications (for research scenarios)
- Basic defensive control enumeration
- Red-team training labs
- Blue-team detection testing
- Persistence awareness education
- CTF challenge development
- Post-exploitation methodology research
- Linux system
- Bash
- Standard GNU utilities (
awk,grep,find,crontab, etc.) - Root privileges may be required for some techniques
