On top of that the patch time window of opportunity is small. So lets dig into the dark corners of the Windows OS and see if we can get SYSTEM. It should be noted that Ill be using various versions of Windows to highlight any commandline differences that may exist. Keep this in mind as various OSSP differences may exist in terms of commands not existing or generating slightly different output. I have tried to structure this tutorial so it will apply in the most general way to Windows privilege escalation. Finally I want to give a shout out to my friend Kostas who also really loves post exploitation, you really dont want him to be logged into your machine hehe.

Elevating privileges by exploiting weak folder permissions Parvez Anwar here. Initial Information Gathering. The starting point for this tutorial is an unprivileged shell on a box. We might have used a remote exploit or a client side attack and we got a shell back. Basically at time t. Initially we will want to quickly gather some essential information so we can get a lay of the land and asses our situation. First lets find out what OS we are connected to C Windowssystem. B C OS Name C OS Version. OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional. OS Version 6. Service Pack 1 Build 7. Next we will see what the hostname is of the box and what user we are connected as. C Windowssystem. C Windowssystem. Now we have this basic information we list the other user accounts on the box and view our own users information in a bit more detail. We can already see that user. Administrators. C Windowssystem. User accounts for B3. F. . Administrator b. Guest. The command completed successfully. C Windowssystem. User name user. Country code 0. System Default. Account active Yes. Account expires Never. Password last set 11. PM. Password expires Never. Password changeable 11. PM. Password required Yes. User may change password Yes. Workstations allowed All. Last logon 11. PM. Logon hours allowed All. Local Group Memberships Users. Global Group memberships one. The command completed successfully. That is all we need to know about users and permissions for the moment. Next on our list is networking, what is the machine connected to and what rules does it impose on those connections. First lets have a look at the available network interfaces and routing table. C Windowssystem. Windows IP Configuration. Host Name. . Primary Dns Suffix. Node Type. . Hybrid. IP Routing Enabled.
