Description

Privilege Escalation refers to the process of increasing the level of access and control that the red team has over the target system. This technique involves exploiting vulnerabilities in the system to gain elevated privileges, such as administrative access, that were not initially granted. The goal of Privilege Escalation in red teaming is to simulate the actions of a real-world attacker who has gained initial access to a system and is seeking to increase their control and access over the target environment. By successfully executing Privilege Escalation, the red team can test the effectiveness of the target's security controls and identify any weaknesses that need to be addressed to improve the overall security posture of the system.
