Linux Post-Exploitation
Microsoft Windows is the predominant OS for workplace end-client machines
and for everyday corporate tools such as Active Directory and Kerberos.
However, Linux (or a Unix variant) is widely regarded as having the majority
share of the world’s servers and cloud environments,
supercomputers, & IoT devices.
Unix varients are also ubiquitous
as a mmobile operating system due to the Android OS.
Because of this, it’s helpful for penetration testers to have an extensive
knowledge of Linux and how its unique functionality
can benefit them during a security assessment.
This module will cover several different
topics related to penetration testing and Linux.
We'll present a variety of techniques that extend beyond initial enumeration
and basic exploitation
The outcome of these techniques may vary depending on the type of Linux environment
As a result, we have attempted to make note of these particular idiosyncrasies
within the text in the relevant sections.
However, we will standardize our approaches on the lab machine
for this module and the steps needed to exploit that particular environment.
