📶Host & Network Penetration Testing

The Host & Network Penetration Testing section delves into advanced techniques for evaluating the security of computer systems and networks. It covers System/Host Based Attacks, which exploit vulnerabilities within individual computers or servers, and Network-Based Attacks, which target weaknesses in network infrastructure. The Metasploit Framework (MSF) is explored for automating these attacks, while Exploitation techniques demonstrate gaining unauthorized access. Post-Exploitation tactics focus on maintaining access and harvesting sensitive information. Additionally, Social Engineering Fundamentals are examined, highlighting psychological manipulation to exploit human vulnerabilities in security protocols.
