Advanced Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Overview of this book

It has always been difficult to gain hands-on experience and a comprehensive understanding of advanced penetration testing techniques and vulnerability assessment and management. This book will be your one-stop solution to compromising complex network devices and modern operating systems. This book provides you with advanced penetration testing techniques that will help you exploit databases, web and application servers, switches or routers, Docker, VLAN, VoIP, and VPN. With this book, you will explore exploitation abilities such as offensive PowerShell tools and techniques, CI servers, database exploitation, Active Directory delegation, kernel exploits, cron jobs, VLAN hopping, and Docker breakouts. Moving on, this book will not only walk you through managing vulnerabilities, but will also teach you how to ensure endpoint protection. Toward the end of this book, you will also discover post-exploitation tips, tools, and methodologies to help your organization build an intelligent security system. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the skills and methodologies needed to breach infrastructures and provide complete endpoint protection for your system.

Metasploit Persistence scripts

Persistence is a major need in every successful hacking attack. Metasploit Framework comes with two major Persistence scripts:

  • S4U Persistence (Scheduled Persistence): to use it type use exploit/windows/local/s4u_persistence
  • Volume Shadow Copy Service Persistence (VSS Persistence): to use it, type use exploit/windows/local/vss_persistence

Here are some additional options for Persistence:

  • The Metasploit Service, (or Metsvc)
  • VNCInject

You can use Windows binaries. To locate these binaries, go to /usr/share/windows-binaries path:
