Abstract
A data collection application is executed on a target system. Various data indicative of privilege elevation pathways is collected, including user account data, file permission data, and system registry data. The collected data is analyzed according to heuristics. System accounts are displayed on a graph as nodes. Detected privilege elevations between the accounts are displayed as edges between their corresponding accounts. A user may customize the displayed graph to focus on particular goal accounts, and categories of privilege elevations.
