With elevated privileges, we can navigate to the Administrator's desktop and retrieve the flag:
scdbg (ShellCode DeBuGger) is highly recommended for this challenge. It allows you to emulate the shellcode and see the Windows API calls it makes, which often reveals the decrypted flag or the next stage of the attack.
To understand what the shellcode does (and find the flag), you need to run it in a safe, emulated environment.
