Old and Vulnerable
Lab for Kernel Exploits: When the OS Itself Is the Bug
Scenario
Everything else on this box is locked down, but the kernel is years out of date. Fingerprint it, and you'll see it's vulnerable to a public local-root exploit. (Here the exploit's already been run; read the proof it dropped.)
Objective
Fingerprint the kernel, recognise it's exploitable, and grab the post-exploit flag.
