## What it is
Watson is a .NET console tool that enumerates missing Windows KB patches and suggests exploits for known privilege escalation vulnerabilities. It checks the OS build against a list of CVEs and prints vulnerable findings with exploit reference links.

## Use cases
- find missing patches for windows privilege escalation
- enumerate installed KBs on a windows host
- suggest local privilege escalation exploits for a windows build
- check if a windows box is vulnerable to known CVEs
- post-exploitation enumeration on windows 10 and server 2016/2019

## When to choose
- you need a quick .NET-based Windows privesc patch checker during a pentest
- targeting Windows 10 or Server 2016/2019 and want CVE suggestions with exploit links

## When to avoid
- targeting modern Windows 11 or Server 2022 builds not in its supported list
- you need a maintained all-in-one privesc suite rather than a KB/CVE checker
- you require Linux or non-Windows enumeration

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, vulnerability-scanning, penetration-testing
- domain: security, penetration-testing, windows
- platform: windows, cli, dotnet
- tags: privilege-escalation, windows-kb-enumeration, cve, red-team, post-exploitation, command-line
