Running code as an administrator grants it the power to modify system files, install malware, or disable defenses. If the code has a bug or vulnerability, the blast radius is massive. Right-click the button and select Terminal (Admin) or
It polls the motherboard, CPU registers, and network interface cards (NICs) for hardcoded serial numbers and MAC addresses.
If adding a manifest is not an option, you can request admin rights at runtime. If your program detects it doesn't have the necessary permissions, it can relaunch itself as an administrator. The main program then exits, and the new process takes over with the required rights.
