Overview of this book

Windows has always been the go-to platform for users around the globe to perform administration and ad hoc tasks, in settings that range from small offices to global enterprises, and this massive footprint makes securing Windows a unique challenge. This book will enable you to distinguish yourself to your clients. In this book, you'll learn advanced techniques to attack Windows environments from the indispensable toolkit that is Kali Linux. We'll work through core network hacking concepts and advanced Windows exploitation techniques, such as stack and heap overflows, precision heap spraying, and kernel exploitation, using coding principles that allow you to leverage powerful Python scripts and shellcode. We'll wrap up with post-exploitation strategies that enable you to go deeper and keep your access. Finally, we'll introduce kernel hacking fundamentals and fuzzing testing, so you can discover vulnerabilities and write custom exploits. By the end of this book, you'll be well-versed in identifying vulnerabilities within the Windows OS and developing the desired solutions for them.

Summary

In this chapter, we introduced some of the options available to us once we've established our foothold into the client's environment. We covered the initial recon and enumeration that allows us to springboard off our foothold into secure areas of the network, including discovering hidden networks after compromising dual-homed hosts, ARP-scanning hidden networks, and the gathering of sensitive and deleted data. From there, we enhanced our understanding of the pivot concept by setting up routes into the hidden network, and enabling port forwarding to allow interaction with hosts on the hidden network with Kali's tools. Finally, we pressed forward by leveraging credentials on our pivot host to compromise a computer inside the perimeter.

In the next chapter, we'll explore the power of PowerShell. Tying this together with what we just covered in this chapter...
