The tool requires an Admin account with the Windows UAC set to default settings.

Usage

Run executable from command line: akagi32 [Key] [Param] or akagi64 [Key] [Param].

First param is number of method to use, second is optional command (executable file name including full path) to run. Second param can be empty – in this case program will execute elevated cmd.exe from system32 folder.

Examples:

akagi32.exe 1
akagi64.exe 3
akagi32 1 c:\windows\system32\calc.exe
akagi64 3 c:\windows\system32\charmap.exe

akagi32.exe 1

akagi64.exe 3

akagi32 1 c:\windows\system32\calc.exe

akagi64 3 c:\windows\system32\charmap.exe

Caveats

This tool shows ONLY popular UAC bypass method used by malware, and reimplements some of them in a different way improving original concepts. There exists different, not yet known to general public methods, be aware of these
This tool is not intended for AV tests and not tested to work in an aggressive AV environment, if you still plan to use it with installed bloatware AV soft – you use it at your own risk
Some AV may flag this tool as HackTool, MSE/WinDefender constantly marks it as malware
If you run this program on real computer remember to remove all program leftovers after usage, for more info about files it drops to system folders see source code
Most of the methods are created for x64, with no x86-32 support in mind. The author doesn’t see any sense in supporting 32-bit versions of Windows or wow64. However, with small tweaks, most of them will run under wow64 as well
