Install

Install Privexec by baulk

baulk install wsudo
wsudo --version

Or you can download it directly, use Exeplorer or 7z and other tools to extract and then use Privexec, download link: https://github.com/M2Team/Privexec/releases/latest

Alias

Privexec and wsudo can resolve aliases. In addition, wsudo adds or deletes aliases. It is also a good choice to use vscode to edit Privexec.json to modify aliases. When Privexec is installed via baulk, the storage directory of Privexec.json is $BAULK_ROOT/bin/etc. If Privexec Download and unzip directly, then Privexec.json will be in the same directory as Privexec.exe.

{
    "alias": [
        {
            "description": "Edit Hosts",
            "name": "edit-hosts",
            "target": "Notepad %windir%\\System32\\Drivers\\etc\\hosts"
        },
        {
            "description": "Windows Debugger",
            "name": "windbg",
            "target": "\"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\\Windows Kits\\10\\Debuggers\\x64\\windbg.exe\""
        }
    ]
}

Usage

Privexec is a GUI client. When running as a standard user, you can start the administrator process; when running as an administrator, you can elevate the privileges to System or TrustedInstaller. It should be noted that System or TrustedInstaller has too many privileges, which can easily damage the system operation. Be careful when using it.

AppExec is a program that starts the AppContainer process. Some developers use this program to study the running details of Windows AppContainer and the vulnerabilities of AppContaner. UWP applications run in the AppContainer container.

wsudo is the console version of Privexec/AppExec. The detailed help is as follows:

wsudo usage:

   wsudo -U -V CURL_SSL_BACKEND=schannel curl --verbose  -I https://nghttp2.org

Builtin 'alias' command:
   wsudo alias add ehs "notepad %SYSTEMROOT%/System32/drivers/etc/hosts" "Edit Hosts"
   wsudo alias delete ehs

When Privexec, AppExec, wsudo launch commands, the command line and launch directory support deduction via ExpandEnvironmentString.

WSUDO Details

The wsudo visible and wait related parameters are --hide --wait --new-console. The corresponding situation is as follows:

PE Subsystem No relevant parameters --new-console --hide
Windows CUI wait/Inheritance console no wait/New console no wait/No console
Windows GUI no wait/New UI no wait/New UI no wait/No window
Windows CUI -wait wait/Inheritance console wait/New console wait/No console
Windows GUI -wait wait/New UI wait/New UI wait/No window

When wsudo starts the administrator process as a standard user, if it is currently running in the console, it supports inheriting the console window. If it is not running in the console, it can do nothing. The newer Cygwin currently supports the newer Windows 10 ConPty starts the console, so it can inherit the console window, which is the terminal. The picture below is the proof.

wsudo exec administrator process under mintty (Turn on ConPty):

WSUDO Environment

wsudo support -e/--env to set environment. such as:

::curl must enabled multiple SSL backends.
wsudo  -U -V --env CURL_SSL_BACKEND=schannel curl --verbose  -I https://nghttp2.org

The environment variables will be deduced according to the Batch mechanism, that is, the environment variables are marked with matching %.

# powershell
.\bin\wsudo.exe -n -e 'PATH=%PATH%;%TEMP%' -U cmd
::cmd
wsudo -e "PATH=%PATH%;%TEMP%" -n -U cmd
