Penetrating Enterprise Networks is a hands-on guide to running your own penetration test on an enterprise network. After setting up a virtual environment to use as your lab, you’ll work step-by-step through every stage of a professional pentest, from information gathering to seizing control of a vulnerable system. You’ll learn a repeatable process you can use to identify valuable targets within a typical enterprise environment, perform controlled exploitation of critical security weaknesses, elevate network level privileges, and pivot laterally through the network. Finally, you’ll learn how to write up your findings in a clear and actionable report, to ensure a system can be protected against the weaknesses you’ve identified. what's inside Set up a virtual pentest lab using Ubuntu Linux Identify internal weaknesses on compromised systems Exploit network vulnerabilities to compromise Windows and Linux Establish persistent re-entry back into compromised targets Elevate your privileges to become a domain administrator
