privilege escalation techniques
Privilege escalation techniques refer to the methods or approaches used to gain higher levels of access or privileges within a computer system or network. These techniques involve exploiting vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the system's security architecture, software, or configuration settings. The goal is to elevate one's privileges from a lower level, such as a regular user, to a higher level, such as an administrator or root user. This can be achieved through various means like exploiting software vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or using social engineering techniques.
