WinPEAS

WinPEAS (Windows Privilege Escalation Awesome Scripts Suite) is a tool designed to scan Windows systems for potential privilege escalation vulnerabilities. It automates the process of identifying misconfigurations, weak permissions, and other security flaws that could be exploited to gain elevated privileges.

Key features include:

• Automated checks for common privilege escalation vectors.
• Output in multiple formats (.exe, .ps1, .bat) for flexibility.
• Color-coded output for easy identification of potential issues.
• Integration with the HackTricks methodology for local Windows privilege escalation.

WinPEAS is useful for:

• Penetration testers assessing Windows environments.
• System administrators hardening Windows systems.
• Security researchers investigating Windows vulnerabilities.
