π¨ Windows Privilege Escalation: Stored Credentials (Runas)
π₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
β΄οΈ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles
Stored Credentials abuse is a common privilege escalation technique where attackers leverage saved credentials in Windows Credential Manager to execute commands with higher privileges. ()
π Introduction to Stored Credentials
β What is Windows Credential Manager
π Web Credentials vs Windows Credentials
π Stored Credentials Enumeration
π Using cmdkey /list
π§ͺ Credential Discovery via WinPEAS
βοΈ Runas Utility Explained
π Using /savecred Parameter
π£ Executing Commands as Administrator
π₯ Creating Malicious Payload (msfvenom)
π Transferring Payload to Target
π― Gaining NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Shell
π Post-Exploitation Access
β‘οΈ If administrative credentials are stored, attackers can execute commands without knowing the password using runas /savecred, leading to full system compromise. ()

π¨ Windows Privilege Escalation: SeBackupPrivilege
π₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
β΄οΈ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles
SeBackupPrivilege allows users to bypass file ACLs and read any file on the system, making it a powerful vector for privilege escalation after initial access.
β‘οΈ Attack Highlights
π Read sensitive files (SAM, SYSTEM, NTDS.dit)
π Bypass file permission restrictions
π§ Extract NTLM hashes
π Escalate to Administrator / SYSTEM
π Lab Workflow
βοΈ Setup privilege on Windows & DC
π§ͺ Verify using whoami /priv
π₯ Dump SAM & SYSTEM hives
π― Extract hashes & escalate access
π‘ Since this privilege grants full read access, attackers can dump credential files and reuse hashes to gain elevated access across the system or domain.
