Abstrct:
Privilege escalation attack is a major security threat where an attacker tries to exploits vulnerabilities in the system to gain unauthorized access to higher-level like root or admin access, potentially leading to sensitive data breaches. This research-based project aims to show detailed simulation scenarios based on privilege escalation attacks. Various aspects of privilege escalation like detection and prevention will be simulated in this project. Further, this project will also establish preventive steps to stop the future privilege escalation attacks. This includes security protocols, policies that define permission and access limitations, educating about secure practices, employee training programs and implementing robust system for defences. This simulation project aims to provide organizations with practical insights and blueprints to enhance their security measures and incident response strategies, train their teams to identify and respond to threats more effectively, and strengthen their overall security defences.
