Penetration Testing - Post Exploitation

This is a self-paced course that continues the development of ethical hacking skills. The curriculum provides an introduction to post-exploitation penetration testing topics. Among the topics covered are Owning, Pivoting, Privilege Escalation and other advanced penetration testing topics, The purpose of the Post-Exploitation phase is to determine the value of the machine compromised and to maintain control of the device for later use. The machine's value is determined by the sensitivity of the data stored on it and the machine's usefulness in further compromising the network. The methods the students learn in this phase are meant to help them identify and document sensitive information, identify configuration settings, communication channels, and relationships with other network devices that can be used to gain further access to the network. The students also learn how to set up one or more methods of accessing the machine later.
