Summary
In this chapter, you learned several ways to elevate privilege. If you have physical access to a machine, you have easier ways to attack a machine, but there are several ways that you can get elevated privilege through the web browser to machines with weak permissions:
Getting Access with Metasploit
Replacing Executables with Malevolent Twins
Local Privilege Escalation with a Stand-Alone Tool
Escalating Privileges with Physical Access
Weaselling in with Weevely
In the next chapter, you will find more ways to maintain access after the breach and quietly send data out of the network for weeks or even years. We show you ways to use NetCat, Metasploit, and the Social Engineering Toolkit to get and maintain access.
