Escalation of privileges

[d0ubl3puls4r]

Hello, I would like to know how it works to escalate privileges in the system.
I even went to the postexploit -> escalate -> getsystem options ..

and it looks like the process was OK, but how to access the session with those elevated privileges,
from now on I don't know what else to do. Thanks in advance.

The follow screenshot shows how the priv escal works ( manual test ) ...

Final notes:

WStore.vbs script its uploaded to target machine to execute the delay time required for attacker to be abble to EXIT and RESTART the meterpeter console prompt and recive the elevated connection back ..

WStore.vbs will execute WSReset.exe (Windows Store process) at the end of the delay time chosen by attacker, then WSReset.exe process will exec the Client.ps1 stored in target $env:tmp folder (elevated).

• C:\Windows\System32\WSReset.exe binary its only available in Windows '8|8.1|10' versions.

Thanks, I managed to understand and it worked perfectly here, now my question is about the persistent mode, I activated the option, I left the program, restarted the windows machine and I was unable to return to the system access.

what persistence did you have pick up ??
meterpeter as 5 available persistence mechanisms ...

Remark: persistence does not give you SYSTEM accesss by its own ..

I used almost all the options but I did not get a reverse access from the remote system, my question is whether the persistent mode serves as a Backdoor allowing to return to the system how does this access work? does it happen reversely? do I have to put the tool back into listening mode on the same IP and port?

[r00t-3xp10it]

yes... you have to put meterpeter in listening mode to wait for connection .. and..
Restart target system .. because most persistence modules of meterpeter use
the startup folder/registry RUN keys (schtasks does not required to restart system)..

Remmenber to use the same port number|IP addr|obfuscation type of the persisted client

Please Read this 'WIKI' that explains the all 'persistence' mechanism.
