Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a Windows 10 post-exploitation phase you obtain a reverse shell running as an unprivileged local user. The command "whoami /priv" shows that the SeImpersonatePrivilege is present and enabled. You must gain NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM access to dump LSASS, but you want to avoid writing new files to disk or modifying any existing configuration. Which privilege-escalation approach best meets these requirements?

  • Upload and load an unsigned kernel-mode driver with "sc create" to obtain ring-0 code execution.

  • Invoke "runas /netonly /user:Administrator cmd.exe" to open an elevated command prompt.

  • Exploit SeImpersonatePrivilege by spawning a named-pipe or COM server and impersonating the connecting SYSTEM service token (Potato-style attack).

  • Replace the executable in an unquoted service path and restart the affected service to run your payload.
