9.5.0 Stage 05: Local Privilege Escalation
← Main index | Master Notes | Strategy map | Study methods: Escalate privileges on Linux; Escalate privileges on Windows
Purpose: trace an object the current identity controls into execution by a higher-privileged consumer. Automated output is a candidate list; the procedure must validate effective control, consumer, execution identity, trigger and effect.
| Task | Open |
|---|---|
| Enumerate and validate Linux escalation paths | Linux privilege escalation |
| Enumerate and validate Windows escalation paths | Windows privilege escalation |
| Fast Linux lookup | Linux privilege-escalation cheatsheet |
| Fast Windows lookup | Windows privilege-escalation cheatsheet |
Exit condition: the new identity is verified, its access is re-enumerated, and the exact controlled object, effective permission, privileged consumer, execution identity, trigger and effect are documented.
