This course delves into the advanced skills of lateral movement and pivoting, essential for proficient penetration testers and red teamers looking to enhance their post-exploitation techniques. It offers a blend of theoretical insights and practical experience, utilizing INE’s labs for hands-on learning. Participants will master various techniques to traverse systems and networks, including password spraying, Pass-the-Hash attacks, and exploiting misconfigurations across both Windows and Linux platforms, along with learning to circumvent network segmentation using different pivoting methods like SSH tunneling and SOCKS proxies.
By the completion of the training, learners will fully grasp the significance of lateral movement and pivoting within the realms of penetration testing and red team operations. The curriculum is structured to equip students with the ability to identify and apply common tools such as PsExec, WMI, and RDP for lateral movements, and to navigate complex network environments ethically and legally. This course is tailored for experienced penetration testers and red teamers aiming to significantly advance their technical capabilities in post-exploitation scenarios.
