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..."
