Typical penetration testing consists of low-level hackers attacking a system with a list of known vulnerabilities, and defenders preventing those hacks using an equally well-known list of defensive scans.

The professional hackers and nation states on the forefront of today’s threats operate at a much more complex level—and this book shows you how to defend your high security network, including:

• Using targeted social engineering pretexts to create the initial compromise
• Leaving a command and control structure in place for long-term access
• Escalating privilege and breach networks, operating systems, and trust structures
• Infiltrating further using harvested credentials while expanding control

From discovering and creating attack vectors, and moving unseen through a target enterprise, to establishing command and exfiltrating data—even from organizations without a direct Internet connection—this guide contains the crucial techniques that provide a more accurate picture of your system’s defense. Build a better defense against motivated, organized, professional attacks with this eBook.
