16b: Gaining Control in Windows: Privilege Escalation Techniques for Penetration Testing

In this video, we discuss methods for obtaining control over Windows systems during a penetration test. We explore the concept of privilege escalation, which is the process of elevating our level of access on a target system from a normal user to an administrator or even system level. We explain why privilege escalation is crucial in penetration testing, as initial access often comes with restricted rights. We also discuss the differences between kernel-specific exploits, which target the operating system's core, and non-kernel exploits, which leverage vulnerabilities in applications, services, and drivers running with elevated privileges.
