Privilege escalation – preparing vulnerable software

For this demonstration, I will be using a vulnerable software named Photodex taken from an Exploit Database website. You can download this software from https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/24872/. Once the software is downloaded, install this software on our target machine. Once it's finished, restart the machine.

So now, let's try and create a nonadmin standard account in our target Windows machine by going to Control Panel | Add or remove user accounts | Create a new account. Let's call this one nonadmin. After creating the account log into the nonadmin account and navigate to the Photodex directory created while installation at C:\ drive and at the same time, open the Task Manager.
