Hey there.
Welcome to the course, Persistence with pwncat.
In this Cyber Security Tools course,
you learn how to establish persistence in a compromised
server using the pwncat framework.
Imagine you're working on a red team engagement. After
getting initial access to a server,
you need to maintain a foothold on the server so you can access it at any time
you want, even if the initial vulnerability is patched. The most common way of
maintaining access is by using persistence implants, which allows you to
access the server, even if the original point of entry is patched. In this
course, we cover the pwncat framework which allows you to perform several post
exploitation attacks,
including deploying SSH keys that allow you to access the server at any time.
We started this course by discussing the basic concepts about
pwncat and some of the main persistence techniques.
Then in our first demo, you'll learn how to install pwncat and
how to enumerate users in your victim computer.
After that,
in our main demo, you'll learn how to deploy a hidden SSH key
using pwncat, and this key will be useful for you to access
the server at any time you want.
So whether you're trying to establish persistence on a writing engagement or
just testing the detection capabilities of your own company,
join me in learning how to create persistence with pwncat here, at Pluralsight.
