Cybercriminals use post-exploitation techniques to maintain a level of access while they attempt to perform other actions during an open session. In this course, you'll learn about post-exploitation techniques and tools. You'll explore common post-exploitation tools such as Empire, Mimikatz, and BloodHound. Next, you'll examine post-exploitation techniques such as lateral movement, privilege escalation, and upgrading a restrictive shell. You'll learn techniques used to maintain foothold and persistence using trojans, backdoors, and daemons. Finally, you'll learn detection avoidance techniques, as well as enumeration techniques used to extract users, groups, forests, sensitive data, and unencrypted files. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) certification exam.
