- Manipulating your regular user privileges to get root access on the system.

- Making the system too slow/unresponsive to other requests
Password Cracking

Notes:
When someone can connect to your machine and incite it to execute commands, that person is considered as having local access.
If someone connects to my machine with SSH and gets a shell, that person has local access.
