Description (Keynote)
This Cookbook was created with the main purpose of helping people understand local privilege escalation techniques on Windows environments. Moreover, it can be used for both attacking and defensive purposes.
ℹ️ This Cookbook focuses only on misconfiguration vulnerabilities on Windows workstations/servers/machines.
Evasion techniques to bypass security protections, endpoints, and antivirus are not included in this cookbook. I created this PowerShell script, TurnOffAV.ps1, which permanently disables Windows Defender. Run this with local Administrator privileges.
The main structure of this Cookbook includes the following sections:
- Description (of the vulnerability)
- Lab Setup
- Enumeration
- Exploitation
- Mitigation
- (Useful) References
I hope to find this CookBook useful and learn new stuff .
