WinPwnage is a Python tool and library that implements UAC bypass, privilege elevation, and persistence techniques for Windows. It can scan a system for compatible methods and be used as a CLI or imported as a Python module.

Use cases

• bypass windows uac to run commands elevated
• find which uac bypass techniques work on my windows build
• achieve persistence on a windows machine for testing
• elevate from administrator to system
• learn how uac bypass and persistence techniques work
• build a single exe for windows privilege escalation testing

When to choose

• you are doing authorized penetration testing or red teaming on Windows
• you want a scriptable Python library of UAC bypass and persistence methods
• you need to check which techniques are patched on a given Windows build

When to avoid

• you need a stealthy or undetected tool for production operations
• you are on Linux or macOS
• you want a maintained tool with a license and active updates
• you need a general-purpose vulnerability scanner
