• PT0-001: 4.2 Compare and contrast various use cases of tools

Lab Duration

It will take approximately 1 hour to complete this lab.

Exercise 1- Exploiting Discovered Vulnerabilities

After you have established the initial connection with the victim’s system, you should be able to exploit the vulnerabilities. For example, you can exploit the SMB vulnerabilities or any application-specific vulnerabilities. You should be able to perform several tasks, such as deploying a backdoor for the current session or even deploy a persistent backdoor. Pivoting is another major task that can be accomplished if you get hold of the right system.

In this exercise, you will learn about exploiting discovered vulnerabilities.

Learning Outcomes

• Switch Off the Windows Firewall on PLABWIN810
• Perform Lateral Movement with Named Pipes
• Create a Persistent Backdoor
• Explain Pivoting
