00:00:06.340 --> 00:00:06.870
Hey there.

00:00:06.880 --> 00:00:09.120
Welcome to the course, Persistence with pwncat.

00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:11.610
In this Cyber Security Tools course,

00:00:11.620 --> 00:00:14.290
you learn how to establish persistence in a compromised

00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:16.780
server using the pwncat framework.

00:00:16.790 --> 00:00:19.780
Imagine you're working on a red team engagement. After

00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:21.290
getting initial access to a server,

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:25.150
you need to maintain a foothold on the server so you can access it at any time

00:00:25.150 --> 00:00:29.840
you want, even if the initial vulnerability is patched. The most common way of

00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:34.170
maintaining access is by using persistence implants, which allows you to

00:00:34.170 --> 00:00:38.580
access the server, even if the original point of entry is patched. In this

00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:42.820
course, we cover the pwncat framework which allows you to perform several post

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:43.890
exploitation attacks,

00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:47.950
including deploying SSH keys that allow you to access the server at any time.

00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:52.030
We started this course by discussing the basic concepts about

00:00:52.030 --> 00:00:54.460
pwncat and some of the main persistence techniques.

00:00:55.140 --> 00:00:58.580
Then in our first demo, you'll learn how to install pwncat and

00:00:58.580 --> 00:01:00.960
how to enumerate users in your victim computer.

00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:02.540
After that,

00:01:02.550 --> 00:01:05.960
in our main demo, you'll learn how to deploy a hidden SSH key

00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:09.920
using pwncat, and this key will be useful for you to access

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.460
the server at any time you want.

00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:15.780
So whether you're trying to establish persistence on a writing engagement or

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:18.650
just testing the detection capabilities of your own company,

00:01:18.660 --> 00:01:27.680
join me in learning how to create persistence with pwncat here, at Pluralsight.
