Once we have gained access as we did in the previous chapters, we will now need to set up some tricks in order to maintain that access without performing the same steps every time to gain it. This is because the target system's access parameters may change, or vulnerability may be patched the next time we attempt to access it.

To achieve this goal, the usage of backdoors is very common.
