Chapter 4 - Windows Post-Exploitation

_Practice the principle of least privilege. Do not log into a computer with administrator rights unless you must do so to perform specific tasks. Running your computer as an administrator (or as a Power User in Windows) leaves your computer vulnerable to security risks and exploits. Simply visiting an unfamiliar Internet site with these high-privilege accounts can cause extreme damage to your computer, such as reformatting your hard drive, deleting all your files, and creating a new user account with administrative access.” _

— Indiana University (Best practices for computer security)

This is the phase I like to refer to as second pass enumeration or enumeration from the inside. Now that we've gained a foothold into the network it is crucial to run all of our enumeration from the ground up as an inside actor.
