Penetration Testing: A Survival Guide

Summary

In this chapter, you have seen five different ways to gain control and put in back-doors on Windows machines, from Ncat scripting, to metasploit meterpreter attacks, to adding a dropbox, to using Social-Engineering Toolkit for sending phishing e-mails, to using Backdoor Factory to create executables with shell-script backdoors.

In the next chapter, we will address reverse engineering of malware you collect, so you can understand what it is likely to do in the wild or in your network, and stress-testing your equipment.
