## What it is
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
