Automated Enumeration and Analysis

Automated Enumeration and Analysis

WinPEAS (Windows Privilege Escalation Awesome Script) automates comprehensive system enumeration, highlighting potential escalation vectors. The tool checks hundreds of conditions from kernel exploits to registry misconfigurations. Color-coded output prioritizes findings by likelihood, accelerating identification of viable escalation paths. Upload via certutil, PowerShell downloads, or SMB transfers depending on available methods.

PowerUp, part of PowerSploit framework, focuses on common Windows privilege escalation vectors through PowerShell. The tool identifies vulnerable services, DLL hijacking opportunities, and exploitable scheduled tasks. PowerUp's modular design allows running specific checks when full enumeration proves too noisy. Integration with Empire and other frameworks enables seamless exploitation following discovery.

Windows Exploit Suggester analyzes systeminfo output against Microsoft's security bulletin database. The tool identifies missing patches and suggests applicable exploits ranked by reliability. While kernel exploitation carries risks, understanding available options informs decision-making. Cross-reference suggestions with public exploits, carefully considering system stability before attempting kernel attacks.

Seatbelt performs user-focused enumeration identifying credential exposure and privilege escalation opportunities. The tool examines browser passwords, interesting files, and user-specific misconfigurations often overlooked by system-focused tools. Seatbelt's targeted approach reduces noise while revealing subtle escalation vectors through exposed credentials or user-specific privileges.
