  • UAC bypass using computerdefaults
  • UAC bypass using slui
  • UAC bypass using silentcleanup
  • UAC bypass using compmgmtlauncher
  • UAC bypass using sdclt (isolatedcommand)
  • UAC bypass using sdclt (App Paths)
  • UAC bypass using perfmon
  • UAC bypass using eventviewer
  • UAC bypass using sysprep (dll payload supported)
  • UAC bypass using migwiz (dll payload supported)
  • UAC bypass using mcx2prov (dll payload supported)
  • UAC bypass using cliconfg (dll payload supported)
  • Persistence using userinit
  • Persistence using image file execution option
  • Persistence using hklm run
  • Persistence using hkcu run
  • Persistence using schtask (SYSTEM privileges)
