Miscellaneous Fun in Windows

In this chapter, we'll mainly focus on exploiting vulnerable software in Windows and proceed to use different techniques within privilege escalation. Subsequently, we'll also create backdoors and cover our tracks. This chapter will give a general idea of how we can leverage the power of a Python script to our advantage.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Privilege escalation – weak service file
  • Privilege escalation preparing vulnerable software
  • Privilege escalation backdooring legitimate windows service
  • Privilege escalation creating a new admin account and covering the tracks
