Post-Exploitation Hacking (Cybrary)

As the name implies, Post Exploitation Hacking – Persistence and Continued Access, refers to the series of steps to be followed after breaking into a system. Offensive hacking to accomplish an objective requires ultimate stealth—but unfortunately many hackers (both script-kiddies and experienced professionals) sometimes fail to perform acts that conceal their identity and exploit their target covertly and consistently for intelligence and to accomplish the mission. In this free self-paced online training course, you’ll cover three main topics: Information Gathering, Backdooring and Covering Steps.
