1 min readOct 23, 2019
Today we had our sixth session of the Pentesting Fundamentals Study Group. We’re half way through!
We covered Chapter 6 Exploit and Pivot of the CompTIA PenTest+ Study Guide and learned about the following topics:
- How to review vulnerabilities and choose the appropriate exploits
- Metasploit basics
- Post-exploitation and lateral movement techniques
- Techniques to achieve persistence and hide your tracks
We also watched IppSec’s videos on how to get system/root level access on the Nibbles and Valentine Hack The Box (HTB) machines.
Next week, we’ll cover Ch-7 of the CompTIA Pentest+ book and work on the Cronos (Linux) & Blue (Windows) HTB boxes.
