Throughout this chapter, we identified a number of considerations when we test a flat and internal network:
Review the information in the host-based firewall section, and experiment with different settings to see what results you can achieve while performing the testing methodology. Try to discover techniques that will bypass the firewall, or at least provide some results that we can use. For example, do a Windows or an ACK scan with the firewall on and off and note the results. As with all testing, ensure you create detailed documentation.
Revisit the section on EMET, and experiment with different settings and see if you can bypass the protections that are in place. If you are a coder, then try and enhance the code examples that are available and see if you can get the bypass to work on Windows 10. The majority of the examples that have been released at the time of this book are for Windows 7. Finally, experiment with the smallest option to reduce the size of your executable...
