-: In this course, you've learned some 2 2
of the basic techniques and methods used by cyber-attackers. 3 3
At this point, we've covered many different techniques 4 4
throughout the course and throughout 5 5
all six phases of a hack. 6 6
We've combed the web to gather opensource information 7 7
and social media and other sources 8 8
during our reconnaissance phase. 9 9
Then we scanned and enumerated the network using 10 10
Central Ops and Zenmap. 11 11
Next, we gained access to our victim using 12 12
the Metasploit framework and well-known vulnerabilities 13 13
that we identified during that enumeration phase. 14 14
Once on the victim machine, we escalated our privileges 15 15
using process migration, password cracking and hash jumps. 16 16
We then maintained our access by manipulating 17 17
the firewall and creating additional user accounts 18 18
and giving those accounts administrative rights. 19 19
Finally, we covered our tracks using alternate 20 20
data streams to hide the information and tools 21 21
and used automated scheduling 22 22
to create call-backs and back doors. 23 23
I hope that this was an eye-opening experience 24 24
for you into the world of hacking and a cyber-attack, 25 25
and I hope it gives you a great introduction 26 26
into the hacker's mindset. 27 27
At the end of this course, I hope I've only left 28 28
you with one question, and that's, 29 29
what should I learn next to continue my hacking adventure?
