Lab 1

Required Software:

Mongoose (https://github.com/lawrenceamer/0xsp-Mongoose/) and a victim PC that is Windows or Linux.

Scenario:

In this lab we will use Mongoose to launch a privilege escalation attack on a Windows device (it can also be a Linux device; most of the commandlets are the same).

Let's start Hacking!

1. Once you download the tool from GitHub, run Command Prompt (cmd) as administrator, and change the path of cmd to the Windows agent folder, which in my case is: C:\ cd C:\Users\Erdal\Desktop\Mongoose\windows agent

   

   Figure 37: Changing the path of commands to the Windows agent folder

2. You can execute the 64 or 32 bit command based on your computer. In my case this is: C:\Users\Erdal\Desktop\Mongoose\windows agent\64.exe

   

   Figure 38: Executing the command

   As you can see Mongoose rapidly discovers the details of your OS.

3. You can use the agent.exe-h command to get help about the possible command options, as can be seen in the following screenshot...
