Windows Privilege Escalation

On Windows, the goal is usually to go from a normal user to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM — the highest local account, even above Administrator. As on Linux, success starts with thorough enumeration of the system.

Current User and Privileges

First, learn who you are and what privileges your token holds. whoami /priv is critical — privileges like SeImpersonate or SeBackup are direct escalation routes.
