## Check physical device
| Component | Action |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Power button | Turning the device off and on again may expose the start screen |
| Power cable | Check whether the device reboots when the power is cut off briefly |
| USB ports | Connect physical keyboard with more shortcuts |
| Ethernet | Network scan or sniffing may enable further exploitation |
## Check for possible actions inside the GUI application
**Common Dialogs** are those options of **saving a file**, **opening a file**, selecting a font, a color... Most of them will **offer a full Explorer functionality**. This means that you will be able to access Explorer functionalities if you can access these options:
* Close/Close as
* Open/Open with
* Print
* Export/Import
* Search
* Scan
You should check if you can:
* Modify or create new files
* Create symbolic links
* Get access to restricted areas
* Execute other apps
### Command Execution
Maybe **using a `Open with`** option\*\* you can open/execute some kind of shell.
#### Windows
For example _cmd.exe, command.com, Powershell/Powershell ISE, mmc.exe, at.exe, taskschd.msc..._ find more binaries that can be used to execute commands (and perform unexpected actions) here: [https://lolbas-project.github.io/](https://lolbas-project.github.io)
#### \*NIX \_\_
_bash, sh, zsh..._ More here: [https://gtfobins.github.io/](https://gtfobins.github.io)
## Windows
### Bypassing path restrictions
* **Environment variables**: There are a lot of environment variables that are pointing to some path
* **Other protocols**: _about:, data:, ftp:, file:, mailto:, news:, res:, telnet:, view-source:_
* **Symbolic links**
* **Shortcuts**: CTRL+N (open new session), CTRL+R (Execute Commands), CTRL+SHIFT+ESC (Task Manager), Windows+E (open explorer), CTRL-B, CTRL-I (Favourites), CTRL-H (History), CTRL-L, CTRL-O (File/Open Dialog), CTRL-P (Print Dialog), CTRL-S (Save As)
* Hidden Administrative menu: CTRL-ALT-F8, CTRL-ESC-F9
* **Shell URIs**: _shell:Administrative Tools, shell:DocumentsLibrary, shell:Librariesshell:UserProfiles, shell:Personal, shell:SearchHomeFolder, shell:Systemshell:NetworkPlacesFolder, shell:SendTo, shell:UsersProfiles, shell:Common Administrative Tools, shell:MyComputerFolder, shell:InternetFolder_
* **UNC paths**: Paths to connect to shared folders. You should try to connect to the C$ of the local machine ("\\\127.0.0.1\c$\Windows\System32")
* **More UNC paths:**
| UNC | UNC | UNC |
| ------------------------- | -------------- | -------------------- |
| %ALLUSERSPROFILE% | %APPDATA% | %CommonProgramFiles% |
| %COMMONPROGRAMFILES(x86)% | %COMPUTERNAME% | %COMSPEC% |

| %LOGONSERVER% | %PATH% | %PATHEXT% |
