[THEME MUSIC]
Welcome to the conclusion of the system and host
based attacks course.
So now that we have actually completed the course,
let's get an understanding or let's
revisit the course objective to see how far you've come
and what you will essentially be able to do
in the context of exploiting vulnerabilities on both Windows
and Linux systems.
All right.
So if you remember during the course introduction,
we went over the learning objectives
and now they should be much more contextualized
in that you will have a better idea of what you've learned
and how all of this plays into a penetration test.
So starting off, students will be
able to essentially get an understanding
of the various vulnerabilities that
affect both Windows and Linux.
And, of course, I'm referring to the inherent vulnerabilities
within these operating systems.
You'll also be able to identify and exploit vulnerabilities
on Windows and Linux systems.
So we've actually gone through the process
of not just identifying these vulnerabilities,
but exploiting them on both Windows and Linux.
You'll also have an understanding
of how to perform privilege escalation on both Windows
and Linux systems.
So we explored various privilege escalation vectors
or techniques that can be performed on both Windows
and Linux.
And, of course, we didn't just go through them
and get an understanding of how they work.
We actually went through them practically and got an idea
as to how they can be exploited or how
we can elevate our privileges on both of these operating
systems.
You should also be able to identify and exploit system
vulnerabilities on Windows.
We explored the process of exploiting or taking
advantage of the actual alternate data
streams feature or functionality within the NTFS file
system on Windows.
And you will have an understanding
of how credentials are stored on both Windows and Linux systems
and how password hashes can be dumped
for the purpose of password cracking
or for the purpose of performing lateral movement
or legitimate authentication in the case of Windows.
So you should be fairly well versed
in regards to exploiting inherent vulnerabilities
within Windows and Linux systems.
And as I said, this is a very, very important skill
to master on your journey to becoming
a proficient professional penetration tester.
So as we conclude this course, I want
to thank you for making it through the entire course.
I really appreciate the fact that you've
gone through all the videos.
And as I said, here at INE we are always
interested in your feedback.
So do let us know what you think and give us
an idea of where we can improve.
And thank you very much for taking this course,
and I'll be seeing you in the next course.
