Hello,
welcome to Pluralsight and this course in the Red Team
tool series featuring Infection Monkey,
the open source lateral movement and network discovery tool built by
Guardicore. Infection Monkey is a tool used by penetration testers,
ethical hackers, and SOC teams to test weak
configurations and vulnerable network paths,
which can be exploited for lateral movement, as well as privilege escalation,
credential access, and network discovery.
The Monkey finds vulnerable network paths and hosts
with a self‑propagating payload,
using built‑in exploits to discover and traverse networks.
The Monkey is also one of the few tools currently in existence,
which evaluates not only against MITRE ATT&CK tactics
but also the Zero‑Trust framework.
So come join me as we discover the uses for Infection Monkey and set our own
Monkey loose to compromise a network of vulnerable hosts.
