# NFS

## NFS

NFS is a network file sharing protocol. In addition to mounting file shares and stealing creds or sensitive information, NFS can open up opportunities for local privilege escalation on Linux machines through UID manipulation.

**Mounting Shares**

```
showmount -e 10.10.10.10
sudo mount -t nfs 10.10.10.10:/ /mnt/ -o nolock
```

**Dangerous Permissions**

If you have `rw` perms, look for `insecure`,`nohide`, and `no_root_squash`
