Description: Windows privilege escalation checking tool
Windows-privesc-check is standalone executable that runs on Windows systems
(tested on XP, Windows 7 only so far). It tries to find misconfigurations that
could allow local unprivileged users to escalate privileges to other users or
to access local apps (e.g. databases).
.
It is written in python and converted to an executable using pyinstaller so it
can be easily uploaded and run (as opposed to unzipping python + other
dependencies). It can run either as a normal user or as Administrator
(obviously it does a better job when running as Administrator because it can
read more files).
