🔵 Windows Cybersecurity Commands: User & Privilege Checks
🔥 Telegram: t.me/hackinarticles
✴ Twitter: x.com/hackinarticles
Privilege enumeration is the first step in Windows post-exploitation ⚠️
⚡ Essential Commands
👤 whoami /priv → View current user privileges
📋 net user → List local user accounts
🔍 net user <username> → Detailed user info
🛡 net localgroup administrators → Identify admin users
⚙️ Get-LocalGroup → Enumerate local groups
👥 Get-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators" → List admins
🧠 Get-LocalUser → View local user accounts via PowerShell
💡 Attackers abuse weak privileges, misconfigured groups & admin memberships to escalate access
⚠️ Always audit local admins and excessive privileges on Windows systems

Day 3 of Studying Offensive Security until I land a Job
Continuing @hackthebox_eu's windows privesc module
Today I learned that initial enumeration is not just running commands.
Commands like systeminfo, tasklist /svc, whoami /priv, whoami /groups, net user, and net localgroup are really answering bigger questions:
What system am I on?
What privileges do I have?
What users/groups exist?
What services are running?
Is anything outdated or misconfigured?
Privesc starts by building a map
Day 2 of Studying Offensive Security until I get a job
Started on @hackthebox_eu's Windows Privesc Module
Today I learned about Situational Awareness
Once you get a shell, don't rush. First understand the host, network, domain context, routes, ARP cache, and defensive controls.
Privesc starts with knowing the environment

When you have successfully gained access to a system, what do you do?
Gather more information about the target (enumeration), assuming you have access to a command-line interface (bash on Linux or cmd/PowerShell on Windows).
The following commands can be of great help:
Linux:
hostname (system name), whoami (current user), w (active users), last (login history), ip a (network info), netstat (connections), ps (processes) etc.
Windows:
systeminfo (system details), whoami (current user), net user (users), net localgroup (groups), netstat (connections), arp -a (network devices) etc.
The goal is to understand the system and find opportunities to escalate privileges.

A giant cosmic sheet is holding the Local Group together — and it’s not dark matter.
Astronomers have just discovered a vast, flattened sheet of matter stretching tens of millions of light-years around our Local Group. For decades they wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: ordinary matter (plus the invisible but ordinary unbound energy in the sea) is arranged in this broad sheet, creating the observed motions without needing large exotic dark-matter halos.
Uniphics shows this is exactly how structure forms in flat space.
Every mass leaks unbound energy into the single ξM-field sea that fills all space. This creates smooth gradients of total energy density: higher near masses, lower farther out. Unbound energy always repels itself, so the surrounding higher-density sea naturally pushes inward toward the lower-density zones. That inward push is gravity.
In the outer regions of galaxy groups and clusters, accelerations are very low. The same sea that creates these large-scale sheets also produces an effective gravitational surge at low accelerations (G_eff = G₀ (1 a₀/a), where a₀ comes directly from spin quanta energy). This extra strength exactly matches the observed motions and lensing without any invisible particles. The faint stellar remnants, diffuse gas, and unbound energy that were previously underestimated provide the rest of the mass. They are simply too cold and spread out to shine brightly — ordinary matter hiding in plain sight.
The same three pillars that explain flat galactic rotations at 220 km/s, light bending by refraction, and the Hubble tension also make the “missing mass” in clusters and the giant cosmic sheet around our Local Group natural consequences of energy gradients in flat space.
The universe isn’t hiding exotic particles.
It’s simply arranging ordinary energy in sheets and voids that push everything into place.
How would astrophysics change if the giant cosmic sheet around the Milky Way was just the sea doing what unbound energy always does?
A Theory of Everything should be able to answer everything.

NEW OS SETUP FIRST STEPS
We use Unattend.XML for all of our VM deployments. It's set up with all sorts of automagic goodness so we have a Role ready VM.
From the Hyper-V Node/Host:
Enter-PSSession -VMName MyVM
MkDir \Temp
CD \Temp
CLS
# ToDo Update the Administrator Password
Net User Administrator MyN3wP@ssword!!!
# ToDo Add Second Admin Account
Net User /Add MySecondAdmin MyNewPaSSw0rd!
Net LocalGroup Administrators MySecondAdmin /ADD!
From there we rename and reboot, set a static IP address, and finally join the domain if needed.
At one point they typed:
whoami /pric ❌
…then corrected themselves:
whoami /priv ✔️
And even tried:
net localgroup adminstraots 👀
Check out our write-up for the full attack chain. okt.to/RDPbGS
5/ Then 20 min of AD enumeration. Some highlights of the "self-fail" portion:
net localgroup adminstraots ← intended "administrators"
net group admi /do ← incomplete group name
net groups /do ← wrong switch entirely
These aren't script artifacts. This is someone typing fast and making mistakes.
2/ Attacker RDPs in (Type 10 logon) from 173.16.10[.]1 to a Terminal Server.
Within 90 seconds they're running:
- nslookup ad
- route print
- net localgroup Administrators
Classic "I just landed, what do I have?" recon. All manually typed. We know this because...
الأوامر الأفضل والأكثر أماناً (بدل ما تكتب anypass مباشرة):
فعّل الحساب المدمج بدون كلمة مرور أولاً:
net user administrator /active:yes
(اضغط Enter مرتين يصير الباسوورد فاضي)
بعدين غيّر الباسوورد (أو خليه فاضي):
net user administrator *
أو أنشئ حساب أدمن جديد كامل:
net user NewAdmin 123456 /add
net localgroup administrators NewAdmin /add
Imma give you the true hackerman solution for this.
When you’re at OOBE first screen, press shift F10
That’s gonna open a cmd window
Type
Net user *yourusername* *yourpassword*
Net localgroup administrators /add *yourusername*
OOBE.exe && shutdown /r /t 0 /f
You’re welcome
in OOBE:
- Shift F10
- net user "User Name" /add
- net localgroup "Administrators" "User Name" /add
- cd OOBE
- msoobe && shutdown -r
Local account successfully created
This article doesn’t mention the way that still works though:
Press Shift F10 then
net.exe user "User" /add
net.exe localgroup "Administrators" "User" /add
cd OOBE
msoobe.exe && shutdown.exe -r
This creates a user called User and skips OOBE and still works as far as I’m aware.
in case they take the URI away for `start ms-cxh:localonly`, this method will always work because oobe cmd is system context and this just plops a local admin right in the sam database
`net user [username] [password] /add`
`net localgroup administrators [username] /add`
reboot
الجزء 2 | 🚨 Windows Forensics Series
تحليل العمليات، الشبكة، المستخدمين، الخدمات، والمهام المجدولة 🔍
📌 الهدف: كشف أي نشاط مريب أو Shell يعمل بصمت داخل النظام.
#DFIR#WindowsSecurity#CyberSecurity
⬇️ تابع
🧵 1
📌 تحليل العمليات المتقدمة:
wmic process list full
يعرض العمليات بتفاصيل شاملة:
•مسار التشغيل
•المستخدم
•المعرف (PID)
•وقت البدء
استخدمه لاكتشاف سكربتات مشبوهة.
🧵 2
📊 عرض أكثر العمليات استهلاكًا للمعالج:
Get-Process | Sort-Object CPU -Descending | Select-Object -First 10
اكتشف إن كانت هناك عملية تستهلك الموارد بشكل غير طبيعي.
🧵 3
🔍 للعثور على عمليات تعمل من %TEMP% أو مجلدات مشبوهة:
Get-WmiObject Win32_Process | Where-Object {$_.ExecutablePath -like '*Temp*'}
غالبًا ما تُستخدم Temp كبيئة لإخفاء برمجيات خبيثة.
🧵 4
🌐 تحليل الاتصالات الشبكية:
netstat -abno
يعرض:
•المنافذ المفتوحة
•أسماء البرامج
•أرقام PID
•IPs الخارجية
ابحث عن اتصالات غير معتادة.
🧵 5
⚠️ لرصد الاتصالات النشطة فقط:
Get-NetTCPConnection | Where-Object {$_.State -eq 'Established'}
ثم اربط الاتصال بالعملية:
Get-Process -Id <PID>
🧵 6
🔐 تحليل المستخدمين والصلاحيات:
net localgroup administrators
يعرض من يملك صلاحيات إدارية!
أي اسم جديد أو غير مألوف؟ علامة خطر.
🧵 7
للكشف عن الحسابات المفعلة فقط:
Get-LocalUser | Where-Object { $_.Enabled -eq $true }
وابحث عن حسابات تم إنشاؤها مؤخرًا عبر:
Get-EventLog -LogName Security -InstanceId 4720 -Newest 10
🧵 8
🛠️ فحص الخدمات المشبوهة:
Get-WmiObject Win32_Service | Where-Object { $_.PathName -like '*AppData*' }
الخدمات التي تعمل من AppData قد تكون Backdoor.
🧵 9
📅 المهام المجدولة:
schtasks /query /fo LIST /v
ثم افحص المهام بأسماء نظامية مزيّفة مثل:
•Windows Update
•DriverHelper
🧵 10
لرؤية المهام التي تم تشغيلها مؤخرًا:
Get-ScheduledTask | Get-ScheduledTaskInfo | Sort-Object LastRunTime -Descending
مفيد لتحديد النشاط الأخير للمهاجم.
🧵 11
🚨 مؤشرات خطر (IOCs):
•PowerShell في الإقلاع؟
•حساب جديد في مجموعة المدراء؟
•خدمة من AppData؟
•عملية من %TEMP%؟
⇨ هذه إشارات مؤكدة لنشاط خبيث!
🧵 12/
✅ كن دائمًا على يقظة،
وسجّل كل شيء قبل اتخاذ أي إجراء.
