A PowerShell enumeration script that identifies common Windows privilege escalation vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. It also collects information useful for exploitation and post-exploitation, with report output in TXT, HTML, CSV, and XML formats.

Use cases

  • find local privilege escalation paths on a windows machine
  • enumerate misconfigurations during a pentest
  • audit windows security configuration issues
  • collect post-exploitation information on a target host
  • generate a privilege escalation report in html or csv
  • check for vulnerable third-party software on windows

When to choose

  • you need a single portable PowerShell script with no dependencies for Windows privesc enumeration
  • you want human-readable reports across multiple formats
  • you are doing pentesting or security research on Windows hosts

When to avoid

  • you need Linux or macOS privilege escalation checks
  • you want automated exploitation rather than enumeration
  • you need a full vulnerability scanner with CVE database matching
