UACMe is a C-based command-line tool that demonstrates dozens of Windows User Account Control (UAC) bypass techniques abusing built-in AutoElevate mechanisms. It is intended as an educational resource for understanding Windows security, running elevated commands via numbered bypass methods.

Use cases

• bypass Windows UAC prompt to run a program elevated
• test whether a UAC bypass method works on a given Windows build
• learn how UAC bypass techniques like DLL hijacking and IFileOperation abuse work
• run an elevated command prompt without user consent in a controlled lab
• audit Windows endpoints for vulnerable UAC configurations
• study AutoElevate backdoor abuse for security research

When to choose

• you are a security researcher or red teamer studying UAC bypass techniques on Windows 7 through 11
• you need a reference implementation of many documented UAC bypass methods in one tool
• you want educational source code showing how AutoElevate abuse works

When to avoid

• you need a defensive tool to block or detect UAC bypasses
• you want a general privilege escalation framework beyond UAC
• you need something for non-Windows platforms
• you cannot operate in a legal, controlled environment
