Privilege Escalation Techniques Questions

Focuses specifically on techniques and methodologies for moving from low privilege to higher privilege on target systems and across environments. Topics include identifying and exploiting operating system misconfigurations, weak file and directory permissions, improper service configurations, insecure scheduled tasks, weak sudo rules, credential reuse and harvesting, kernel vulnerabilities and local exploit development, group membership and privilege boundaries, horizontal movement between accounts, and platform specific differences for Windows and Linux. Candidates should also be able to discuss detection considerations, safe testing practices in scope, and mitigations.
