# PrivescCheck

PrivescCheck is an amazing PowerShell Script that looks for multiple vulnerable configurations, cleartext credentials, and missing patches for exploitation that can allow the operator to elevate privileges on the workstation, it is currently only in C#, but it is actively maintained and well worked on.

In this example, I will demonstrate the SeimpersonatePrivilege with this the user is allowed to impersonate a user or account and act on behalf of the user.

Running PrivescCheck will demonstrate this permission as True

TL;DR

The PrintSpoofer abuses the permissions to create a pipe and has the local system try and authenticate to impersonate its token.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dmcxblue.gitbook.io/red-team-notes-2-0/privilege-escalation/privesccheck.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
