Agreed. The article also does not seem to explain it. From what I understood the SAM only stores encrypted password hashes, nothing that could be readily exploited for local privilege escalation.

There's a video (bleh) which appears to extract the hash and then use a pass-the-hash. I'm not clear on exactly what the preconditions are (are NTLMv1/v2 hashes still stored by default? Does PTH work with newer hashes? Etc) or if there's another way to escalate
