offensive-windows-privesc skillA

offensive-windows-privesc is agent-read markdown (skill) from snailsploit/claude-red: Comprehensive Windows privilege escalation methodology for offensive security engagements. Covers the full attack surface from a standard user shell to NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM: token impersonation via SeImpersonate and SeAssignPrimaryToken privileges using JuicyPotato, PrintSpoofer, GodPotato, SweetPotato, and RoguePotato; service misconfigurations including unquoted service paths, weak service DACLs, writable service binaries, and insecure service creation permissions; AlwaysInstallElevated MSI ex.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Windows Privilege Escalation

You have a standard user shell on a Windows target. Your objective is to escalate to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM or local Administrator through systematic enumeration and exploitation of misconfigurations, vulnerable services, and unpatched software. This skill provides a structured methodology that moves from passive reconnaissance through increasingly aggressive techniques.

Windows privilege escalation differs fundamentally from Linux. The attack surface centers on services, tokens, the registry, DLL loading mechanics, and the Windows access control model. Master these primitives and you can chain findings from any enumeration tool into a working escalation path.

## Quick Workflow

1. Run automated enumeration (WinPEAS, PowerUp, Seatbelt) to surface misconfigurations.
2. Check current privileges -- SeImpersonate/SeAssignPrimaryToken are immediate wins.
3. Enumerate services for unquoted paths, weak DACLs, and writable binaries.
4. Check AlwaysInstallElevated registry keys for MSI-based escalation.
5. Identify DLL hijacking opportunities in privileged processes.
6. Attempt UAC bypass if running as a local admin without elevated context.
