What you'll learn

One of the main differences between a penetration testing and a red team engagement is executing the same attacks as malicious actors to demonstrate the impact a real attack to our clients. Therefore, after getting access to a few machines in the network, your job is to look for sensitive information that could be interesting for hackers. In this course, Collection with PowerSploit, you will cover one of the most important tools for a red team specialist, the PowerSploit framework. Here, you focus on the collection capabilities of this tool, which includes collecting keystrokes using a stealthy keylogger, collecting screenshots, collecting audio from the victim’s microphone, and even searching for sensitive files in the computers and network shared folders. This course covers four important tactics from the MITRE ATT&CK framework: Audio Capture (T1123), Input Capture (T1056), Screen Capture (T1113) and Data from Network Shared Drive (T1039).
