Sandworm: Keylogging Emulation Lab
In this lab you’ll practice creating and deploying a keylogger to steal credentials on a compromised host and use them to move laterally within a network. You’ll begin by discovering that the host has access to a device that controls part of a city’s traffic light control system. You’ll then attempt various methods to try and gather credentials to access the system, including deploying a keylogger. Finally you’ll use the captured credentials to access the system and disrupt the city’s traffic control operations.
