Privilege Escalation Methods

This is a reference guide for post-exploitation privilege escalation during pentests and red team ops. It covers both Linux (sudo abuse, cron jobs, capabilities, NFS misconfigs) and Windows (token impersonation, service abuse, SeBackupPrivilege), plus Active Directory attacks like Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, and golden tickets. The examples are straightforward and include actual command syntax for tools like Mimikatz, Rubeus, Impacket, and Responder. It's organized as a quick reference rather than a tutorial, so you need to already know when and why to use these techniques. The constraint sections emphasize authorization requirements, which is appropriate given the material. Useful as a cheat sheet when you have initial access and need to escalate, but this is clearly offensive security content that requires proper authorization and scope.
