Windows / Linux Local Privilege Escalation Workshop

A comprehensive educational workshop focused on local user privilege escalation techniques for Windows and Linux operating systems. The workshop includes structured learning materials, hands-on exercise worksheets, and pre-configured laboratory virtual machines for practical training. The content covers known attack vectors and methodologies used to escalate privileges from standard user accounts to administrative or root access on both Windows and Linux systems. Participants work through guided exercises using provided tools and techniques to understand common privilege escalation vulnerabilities and exploitation methods. The workshop materials include video demonstrations and step-by-step instructions for various privilege escalation scenarios. Laboratory environments are designed to simulate real-world systems with intentional misconfigurations and vulnerabilities that can be exploited for educational purposes. Originally presented at cybersecurity conferences and events in Australia, the workshop serves as a training resource for security professionals, penetration testers, and students learning about system security and attack methodologies.
