Sherlock is a PowerShell script that identifies missing software patches for known Windows local privilege escalation vulnerabilities. It is deprecated in favor of Watson and has not been updated since 2018.
Use cases
- find missing patches for windows privilege escalation
- check if a windows host is vulnerable to kernel exploits
- enumerate local privilege escalation vectors during a pentest
- identify missing KB updates for known CVEs
- find win32k kernel vulnerabilities on a target host
When to choose
- auditing legacy Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 era systems for known local privesc CVEs
- quickly enumerating patch status from a PowerShell or C2 session on older Windows targets
When to avoid
- modern Windows 10/11 or Server 2016+ systems - use Watson instead
- comprehensive vulnerability management - use a real patch/vulnerability scanner
- any environment where running offensive tooling is not authorized
