Hey Corey,

One you might want to add is unix-privesc-check from myself, @inquisb and 
@pentestmonkey.  There are two versions in existence:

1.x - @pentestmonkey's quick and dirty with some hacks by me
trunk - a full blown privesc check framework designed by me with contributions 
from the other two, it has multiple modes of operation, a standard library 
which can be leveraged for new checks and (already) enhanced capabilities.   
Its not perfect yet, I still need to clean it up and port it to the commercial 
UNIX platforms we support but it should give a good idea of where we're going

Once I've stabilised the API of trunk, it will become 2.x and we'll open it up 
formerly for contributions.

It's on Google Code if people want to take a look:
