Web applications are a prime target for hackers, but sometimes it's not just the web apps themselves that are vulnerable.

Privilege escalation is a vast field and can be one of the most rewarding yet frustrating phases of an attack. We could go the manual route, but like always, Metasploit makes it easy to perform local privilege escalation and get root with its exploit suggester module.
