JAWS is a PowerShell enumeration script that helps penetration testers and CTF players quickly identify potential Windows privilege escalation vectors. It runs on PowerShell 2.0 and collects network info, services, credentials, scheduled tasks, and other security-relevant system details.

Use cases

• enumerate windows privilege escalation vectors
• find unquoted service paths on windows
• check AlwaysInstallElevated registry key
• discover stored credentials on a windows host
• ctf windows enumeration
• audit scheduled tasks and services for weak permissions

When to choose

• you need a single-file PowerShell script with no dependencies for Windows enumeration
• you are doing a CTF or pentest on legacy Windows systems down to Windows 7
• you want a quick checklist of common privesc vectors

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained tooling with regular updates
• you need Linux or macOS enumeration
• you want a comprehensive modern alternative like winPEAS or PowerUp with deeper checks
