In an internal security audit, the white hat hacker gains control over a user account and attempts to acquire access to another account's confidential files and information. How can he achieve this?
Privilege escalation is the process of gaining higher levels of access or privilege on a system or network than the user was originally granted. This can be achieved through various means, such as exploiting vulnerabilities in the system, misconfigurations, weak passwords, or social engineering.
Privilege Escalation
An attacker can gain access to the network using a non-admin user account and the next step would be to gain administrative privileges.These privileges allow the attacker to view critical/sensitive information, delete files, or install malicious programs such as viruses, Trojans, or worms.
