Actual title: how to get fired from the office.
😂😂
Lol 😂😂😂
😂😂
Always wear a hoodie when hacking so nobody knows who you are and you won't get fired.
😂😂
this simply tells the app not to run as admin and instead whatever the current user is. Some programs need to do admin privilege tasks and may install improperly/not work as expected. Additionally, a lot of apps will have multiple admin prompts. This isn't privesc but it can be helpful. Always ensure youre allowed to be installing this and if youre unsure, try to contact your network administrator instead of doing sketchy stuff on the schools computer
Well what if I'm in a school program so I know they aren't going to let me. Do you have anything for that. Also, my app that i wanna download has multiple admin prompts. If you don't, it's fine. Thanks.
@@Siberium Can't download it to your own computer? The film clearly stated that hacking is BEE. On the other hand, if you want it so much, download a system that works with USB (live CD). Then you will turn off your computer's operating system, run your own system and download whatever you want. The connection is probably via LAN, so you won't need an Internet password. I replied for educational purposes only.
@@Siberium Then you cannot run it. Those devices does not belong to you basically.
This
This confirms my suspicion
The RunAsInvoker doesn't give you admin rights. It just tells Windows to run the app as the logged on user.
By the way, is this a security flaw or not? However, the password to install the software was bypassed.
@@krotson6767 The prompt was never asking for a password to install. It wanted the password to make changes to files the logged in user doesnt have access to. In this case the isntallation will fail
@@krotson6767 It wasn't "bypassed", the executable is being told NOT to run as Administrator, hence why you're able to open it.
This won't work if the application, whether it'd be an installer or just an application, requires administrative rights to function properly.
it won't install drivers for example so lot of programs are installed but not of any use. If a program want admin rights there is a good reason.
Ahh... As an IT consultant, I'm relieved 😌
This can be handy for apps that require admin rights just to start, I had a similar script for those to allow users to open the app without making them local admins, but some apps are weird, definitely gonna give this one a try.
This is a useful thing not only for people who do not have admin access, but also for people who do not want give the app the admin access. Very useful, thank you.
very handy most of the times. It does not work however, with programs that require high level authorizations or require the admin password to be inserted more than one time
Be warned also that in modern enterprise corporate workplaces, your computer will have end user experience monitoring agents installed as part of device management practices. The admins will know if you install or even just use software not authorised for the enterprise environment. In many workplaces this can lead to disciplinary action for breach of corporate IT policies.
Sometimes you can't even work because of the Policy, there are such silly things.
I do not care.
That is incredibly gay. They're really trying hard to take the fun out of everything
@@spacemeter3001 Well, to be fair, they have corporate liability to consider and are protecting their assets.
I delete the processes of that shit, it works lol
@@gabrielv.4358 If you have access to do that. It's harder with the more enterprise class tools. Also, killing a process may generate an event, and that too could notify admins, and when they investigate, lead to a corporate policy breach.
Fortunatelly, this will crash as soon as the executable tries to access some admin only area ie. program files, registry, system32, etc. It can help when the installer is old or some idiot compiled it, but usually the installer asks for the admin priviledge exactly because the soft needs accessing those protected areas to work properly.
will it actually crash tho? I heard that at least for some old software it basically generates an overlay system within the user scope that lets the program believe it wrote there but the settings are only done in that extra layer.
Handy to install apps that *think* they need admin access but actually end up polluting your system with those admin rights.
Now show a follow up video of it working post install. There's many dependencies (run-time installers) that are bundled which require admin rights that will cause the app to break if they're not installed correctly.
Running as System, Does the work. Ever heard why windows update is still able to update our computer even without administrator knowing. It fully automates how the windows update do, However you can still switch it manually. But the trick is very simple, it starts with the recovery boot cmd... It authorizes you to become a system user immediately since it is a recovery boot OS. Unless you encrypt the hard drive with bitlocker then it is truly impossible to install any applications without the password for the drive.
My mom's government laptop doesn't install windows updates...
Infact it's so useless you can't even update browser or add chrome extension.
The blocking is insane
All the companies who respect their security won’t let for installation of updates automatically, but instead they will be managed by SCCM with group policy. don’t need to work for the government to get that security dude
Bro, you solved my year long problem. Definitely deserve a like and subscribe. Thanks.
This is actually quite useful. We have a new domain at work with new set of restrictions and I will need to install a legitimate app for many users which doesn't work properly if I install it from admin account. Thanks for the tip!
Read other comments it doesn't work.
This doesnt work on apps that actually REQUIRE admin, This dude doesnt really know what he is talking about. Its all about the YT dollars.
But schools and office administrators sometimes ban .bat files created. Most likely registry. Create a tutorial on how to bypass registry entries by administrators(for educational purposes only ofc)
lol, in college i used a pendrive with linux to change the admin password, so for anyone it looked the same, except that the original password didn't work, but mine worked
@@vilian9185 I work at a high school and this is the reason we have secure boot and and a password required to boot from USB.
@@thelastword4616well you can still bypass it from the BIOS, if the BIOS has password, you can try wrong pass until it gives you an error code, the go to a password master site online and generate a master password for that BIOS...
Good informational video in order to be aware of the risks and tactics that can be implemented
Awesome!! Now I can bypass the annoying block IT put on my computer that should only be enforced on marketing and HR. They are the ones that don't know how to use a computer
skooter is this working
So you're saying that you're installing software without the IT consent and authorization in the COMPANY'S computer. Software that certainly wasn't checked by the IT as safe and probably has nothing to do with your job.
That's how people get fired.
@HMP96 why would I install software I don't need for work if I have three personal laptops with all non-work related software I want? I'm not in HR or Marketing. I know what I'm doing.
lovelyyyyyyy and I wish you the best of luck for your first Million subscribers
Awesome! :) Can this be done ONLY from command prompt or powershell?
I remember at an internship one of our "teachers" wanted to unwrap an archived file that I've had on my work laptop. Funny enough, the Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC didn't even have the basic windows winrar (forgot its name, I'm always using 7zip). So I've just used the portable version of 7Zip, bypassing the admin rights to install it (and you can do that with pretty much all of the "light" versions or portable versions of an installer). Sadly your method won't work, as someone has stated below, since it will probably still need the admin rights.
WinRAR is actually not a Microsoft product and it's a paid product (there is a free evaluation license). 7-Zip is actually GOATed because it's completely free and can do everything you really need it to, although tbch there is no practical reason to not just use a normal .zip or .tar.gz file for most normal use cases.
I needed this video 10 years ago when I was in school
haha same thought.
you'd only be in prison by now same as me if I'd learned to be an accountant.
@@SofaKingWhatA why would I be in prison, my school wouldn’t have cared, they have fire hazards everywhere
@@mlgn0sc0p3r5 you'd have continued learning leet hacker skills, it always starts with a small step.
I did this on my high school and even the teacher knew it so he didn't mind it lmao
If I was admin, I would actually prefer this method of installation of unofficial software - it will install and run with the current, unprivileged user's permissions. So if it's not maintained and becomes vulnerable, it would eventually compromise this user's profile, but not the whole system.
I also consider this method to install software on my PC. There is absolutely no reason for the most of it to have system administrator privileges to install and run. It's a major security flaw of Windows and software for Windows.
Install as:yes, run as: it does that by default (interactive user privileges)....unless you also get an elevation prompt when opening the application.
@@daanmageddon Unless it installs as a service, schedules tasks run by system, so you won't get UAC prompt.
Always waiting for video notification😅 dear sir❤❤
try to insert cmd prompt exe instead of for example screen keyboard from logging screen and add local admin acc, then you will have an secret local admin on PC not doma
This is handy if you need an app that doesn't really need admin rights to run, but wants to write some (optional) libraries in your system folder.
Those apps usually refuse to run or install, but like this, you can basically made a portable-ish version of the app.
That said, lots of apps installed like this will have random errors or outright crash, but others will work fine.
I remember getting grounded years ago and my dad uninstalled the online game I was using...well, the program needed write access to the programs folder, which is something a normal user cannot do, also to install it wanted to write some windows library so I couldn't do it myself. But guess what, I had a backup of the folder, and slapped it into my documents, it was able to run without admin rights, the updater also worked fine as well.
I also remember lots of video converter programs I couldn't fully install, but somehow worked anyway with the "portable trick"
If you're going to be installing software, you need admin privileges. Plus, administrators could disable batch script execution.
Don't do it guys. Me and my friend reinstalled Windows on our school computers, installed a graphics card and installed "unauthorized software" (Fortnite, a vpn and a RAT). We got a written warning. Not for reinstalling Windows but for installing the software. Even though they didn't fins the RAT they told us that if we do anything like that again we will get suspended. The only reason we didn't get suspended was because i bluffed and said that i could and was willing to stay after school to fix it. They didn't want our help but appreciated the offer. It's NOT worth the risk🙏🙏🙏
I'm doing this at the post office where I work, If I get caught that's a felony.
you are the best thing to learn about tricks for pc
Chrome has this built in to it kind of..... If you try to run the setup it'll prompt for admin rights. However it you don't have admin rights it'll just install to the user directory which does not require elevated rights......
The same with Firefox and probably for most of the main stream browsers.
Tldr; this is a really good tip to install software that uses badly coded installer routines that think it needs admin priv. Yes, it is not privileged escalation. No where does he say this is what it is doing.
Hey Mr hacker loi, I’ve tried that before but for software installers it doesn’t allow the installation to finish because there is another admin prompt at the end. Do you know how to get it to still work?
If you're talking about Steam.exe specifically, its because Steam wants to install prerequisites which also need admin privs. .net, c++ etc. In this scenario you can use the same method to install prerequisites by downloading them and installing them manually. However, with steam, you still wont be able to launch some games after install because even with prerequisites installed, the "first run" script on a new game still wants to install them. In this scenario, you can often launch the directly from the game folder and it will still run through steam but not execute the first run script. But again, it doesnt always work.
Happy New year my friend 🎉
I’ve been waiting for this video for months

when he said smash the like button, the like button got highligted so cool
Thanks a lot that batch file solved my issue to install new office in my university computer
You are an Awesome Bro....
You are a genius man. Thank you
a universal option for running any file. just transfer your .exe to the script icon
cmd /min /C "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start "" %1"
Administrator of your school/work can also just disable your CMD if they feel like it. If you don't need it while you are in class you don't need it at all.
It won't install. It complains you need admin permission to write on the program folder.
Change folder into users dir
Correct. The best way to do this is to create a portable version of the app that can run from a USB drive or a folder in your /documents folder. However, that won't work for programs that need to make changes to drivers or the registry.
Because of things like this, and the fact that a lot of programs install to AppData and do not need admin priv, I implemented a software restriction policy. Now programs cannot run from any folder except a specific on on the C drive, and that folder requires admin rights to even copy anything to it. The life of a sys admin at a high school, it is great.
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a Whitelist of needed/allowed exes and strictly disallow any other exe regardless of location?
@@joshmosleythat would be way harder to manage. Every update to the executable would have to be whitelisted manually. Makes much more sense doing it the above way.
Do we agree that it install said softwares in the userdata folder, and not in the Program Files/Program Files (x86) or ProgramData folder ?
would be interesting if this is something which can possibly be stopped somehow or if this is impossible to stop
The only *hack* here, is the clever flipping of the video so it doesn't look like you live in a hallway with a curtain obscuring your bathroom/kitchen
This just prevents the User Account Control (UAC) prompt from appearing when launching an application without elevating to administrator rights and doesn’t provide any additional access beyond what the user already has.
RunAsInvoker is safe because it doesn’t elevate privileges without authorization and to perform administrative tasks, you’ll still need to authenticate as an administrator.
Nice Tutorial, but boss I have a doubt, How to uninstall a app without admin rights?
What about getting the internet passcode but you can’t see it cuz you need the username and password for admin
Great video!
You are the best bro
What's the name of that symbol right after "Set" and where can I find it in windows keyboard?
Video starts at 01:22
Not working got an error window says you must logged in as administrator when installing this program.
Question. I have my system setup to ask for the admin password before installing any program. Like if I was on a site and unknowingly had malware uploaded to me, it couldn't run with telling me and asking for the password. Would this bypass that security if the malware was a dat file with that bit of code, instead of an exe?
Yes, but you would need to run that bat file some how. In order to bypass the security you have in place, the malware would have to be pretty advanced. Unless you are expecting to be targeted from an APT, then I would not worry about it. Use safe practices on the internet and know what you are running before you put in that password and you are all set. Good on you for actually using these security features, most people don't.
Thanks so much for that. ❤
Great Bro♥ how to do same thing on linux? and also how to bypass Ekran client without knowing anybody? and also how to secure or protect system which will not allow to execute this kinds of bat script?
Can one passively install multiple .exe or .msi from one batch file? I only ask because this seems like a very simple solution to stream line my daily work flow as PC technician who sets up quite a few machines on a daily basis in a corporate environment
On my PC I have a guest user that my brother uses to play Apex so usually there is an update that requires admin rights to install the update to be able to play and when Im not home he usually has to wait till I get home... So could something like this commands work to run the update without admin rights or should I try some other command?
No, all it does is bypass the UAC screen, if an app actually DOES require admin, it will fail using this method.
@@xelerated Yea I tried it and it did not work.
Can anyone actually believe that "admin permission" does not mean "admin permission"? xDD
I tired and it doesn't work. The installation start and then ask for the admin password.
Thats a good one!
What about if you want to add a printer or you want to put a static IP instead of the DHCP? That would help me in my work.
i want to install logitech mouse software at work, will the install fail if i do this? im guessing it 'might' need that to work but all i really want is to use the extra buttons on the mouse.
what is the difference with 'portable' mode?
setting the COMPAT_LAYER variable to RunAsInvoker does not grant administrator privileges to a program, it only suppresses the UAC prompt that would otherwise appear. The program still runs with the same permissions as the user who launched it12
Yeah, this is total bullshit. Only to grab views
I cannot install Direct X 9 to run San Andreas Multiplayer, even doing same thing on the video. Bat file doesnt open it without password. Any suggestions/help? Let me play in office bro
Does this work for Firefox Plugins to be installed? Like Bitwarden? Thanks
Loi yang I love your videos man ❤❤❤
really liking these thumbnail faces!
Superb bro 😊
If it says it doesn't have permission to install another file that requires admin, you just set the install location to the location you put the .bat file.
🎉 great sir
Ive tried something like this in the past, unfortunately I had to have administrator privileges to exicute a .bat program
Does not work in most cases, since the command does not provide admin rights. The program starts maybe but cannot do any changes to the system.
Just tried it doesn't work, still ask for password
You are aware that this command only works on .exe setup not on .exe that extracts an .msi installer file
This should be titled "how to end up sitting in front of your manager and HR to explain why you should keep your job."
Tried, but it seems didn't work in AD environment, still required the admin password.
Very interesting. Can something like this be used to get access to shared directories you do not have access to?
Definitely not? This is essentially just forcing the app to run in User mode regardless of if the program/installer requests admin. It does not change the user you are or allow for any access outside of your current user
Can u do an evasion video please😊
That's bullshit, you can't install software without admin rights.
You can start the installer and specify the path, but when the installer starts to install the program on the hard disk, an error message will appear. You don't have NTFS permission to write to certain paths, you don't have permission to write to the registry, you don't have permission to create services...
Good job Thanks
Bonjour, nouvel abonné et je me régale déjà !!! merci
Great Sir
I’m watching in the official TH-cam app. When he said “hit the like button” it lit up in the app. How did he get it to do that?
What if the CLI is Disabled like CMD and PowerShell,
will the bat script works?
Fans are always on time :)
Does not work
some companies namely schools have already prevented such thing from bein possible, or even blocking access to Command Prompt/terminal (CMD/Powershell) and some applications will not work with this method, i forgot wbich ones though.
U can also install a few applications but doing installation on another pc and uploading files to cloud or a USB Thumb Drive/SD Card as well.
thx
Awesome 😱
Yikes, can anyone confirm that this would work on a domain environment?
You had me a little nervous for a moment - however I think we are good here (I am a Network Engineer) - our corporate GPO is set to disable local admin every time it runs - (every 15minutes) and no one but a "domain admin" can elevate to install an exe. So not unless we run a script to elevate local admin from our RMM tool would a local admin have the ability to do this - and the next time the GPO runs, it turns back off. Also we have MFA so every single time I elevate as a domain admin I have to use a ubikey or MFA code.
You could also use the GPO to block any .bat in a given folder/in the overall system.
I did this on my work laptop (among other things), so that colleagues couldn't do anything on my PC despite me not being there
No, it don't work .
why are you explaining your current environment in a comment section on youtube?
@@danmac4969So someone can exploit it😂😂
Using domain admin on a random computer to install ?
That's a really bad way to do things.
Use LAPS account it'll be really better in term of security and other points
Can you do a tutorial how to pass admin rights when opening settings on firewall
Obv only works for apps that are available but most employers forget to block the MS app store. I downloaded the python runtime and DBeaver on my work computer. My IT departement is too stupid to know that I have near full access to their database and I can write scripts to inteact with it.
