CYBER SECURITY TIDBIT's:  Numerous great WIN64 Security / Hacking Tools Repository

"...Privilege escalation is when a threat actor gains elevated access and administrative rights to system(s) by exploiting security vulnerabilities. By modifying identity permissions to grant themselves increased rights and admin capabilities, attackers can conduct malicious activities, potentially resulting in significant damages.

Systems have different levels of privileges, which range from basic users with limited permissions to administrators with complete control. A successful privilege escalation incident means that an attacker has managed to escalate their own privilege level, thereby gaining increased control.

Cyber attackers use privilege escalation to open up new attack vectors on a target system. This enables them to evolve attacks from simple malware infections to catastrophic data breaches and network intrusions..."
