[WINPEAS] Add privilege escalation check: Windows Exploitation Technique Amplifyin...

@@ -77,6 +77,8 @@ The goal of this project is to search for possible **Privilege Escalation Paths*
 New in this version:
 - Detect potential GPO abuse by flagging writable SYSVOL paths for GPOs applied to the current host and by highlighting membership in the "Group Policy Creator Owners" group.
 
+- Added Object Manager race-window amplification guidance (Project Zero 2025): winPEAS now checks if the current user can create named objects under \\BaseNamedObjects and reminds you how to build extremely long names/deep directory chains to stretch kernel race windows.
+
 
 It should take only a **few seconds** to execute almost all the checks and **some seconds/minutes during the lasts checks searching for known filenames** that could contain passwords (the time depened on the number of files in your home folder). By default only **some** filenames that could contain credentials are searched, you can use the **searchall** parameter to search all the list (this could will add some minutes).
