Description

This advanced course is designed for experienced penetration testers, red teamers, and security professionals seeking to master the art of privilege escalation within Windows environments. As attackers increasingly target Windows systems, understanding the intricate mechanisms that enable privilege escalation is essential for both offensive and defensive security operations.Throughout this course, participants will dive deep into complex exploitation techniques, exploring how to elevate privileges using a variety of attack vectors across modern Windows systems. You will gain hands-on experience with advanced tools and methods, including exploiting misconfigurations, bypassing User Account Control (UAC), leveraging insecure service permissions, exploiting DLL hijacking, and chaining multiple vulnerabilities for maximum impact. The course also covers techniques for evading antivirus software, Windows Defender, and other endpoint protection mechanisms to maintain persistence and stealth.In addition to these tactics, the course will emphasize the understanding of Windows internals, the security models of Windows OS, and the role of Active Directory in privilege escalation. By mastering these concepts, you will be equipped to identify and exploit weaknesses that can be used to escalate privileges from standard user to administrator or SYSTEM access.Real-world, practical exercises and labs will empower students to perform advanced privilege escalation attacks, while developing countermeasures and defensive strategies to prevent these sophisticated techniques. The course concludes with a capstone project, where participants can apply their knowledge to simulate an advanced privilege escalation attack scenario.
