Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 353

Which of the following Metasploit post-exploitation modules can be used to escalate privileges on Windows systems?

Answer options

• A. getsystem
• B. getuid
• C. keylogrecorder
• D. autoroute

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is 'getsystem' because it is specifically designed to elevate privileges on Windows systems by exploiting various vulnerabilities. The 'getuid' module is used to determine the current user ID, 'keylogrecorder' is for capturing keystrokes, and 'autoroute' is used for routing traffic, none of which are intended for privilege escalation.
