The following code **exploits the privileges SeDebug and SeImpersonate** to copy the token from a **process running as SYSTEM** and with **all the token privileges**. \
In this case, this code can be compiled and used as a **Windows service binary** to check that it's working.\
However, the main part of the **code where the elevation occurs** is inside the **`Exploit`** **function**.\
Inside of that function you can see that the **process **_**lsass.exe**_** is searched**, then it's **token is copied**, and finally that token is used to spawn a new _**cmd.exe**_ with all the privileges of the copied token.
**Other processes** running as SYSTEM with all or most of the token privileges are: **services.exe**, **svhost.exe** (on of the firsts ones), **wininit.exe**, **csrss.exe**... (_remember that you won't be able to copy a token from a Protected process_). Moreover, you can use the tool [Process Hacker](https://processhacker.sourceforge.io/downloads.php) running as administrator to see the tokens of a process.
