Network Exploitation is the process of gathering target information such as open ports, services, and vulnerabilities. This will allow for password cracking through brute force or dictionary methods and backdoors for persistent access. It is essential to know these techniques in order to evaluate and mitigate security risks. Learn these skills in this course!

Network Exploitation: A Step-by-Step Approach
When using network exploitation, the first action is to acquire critical information about the target network. This means to identify open ports, active services, and possible vulnerabilities that may be exploited. Open ports represent entry points for an attacker; thus, knowing which ones are open and what type of traffic passes through them is important. A network scanner may be used in order to do this in the most efficient manner.
Once the details of the target are uncovered, the exploitation phase begins. In this course, you will learn techniques such as password attacks and setting up backdoors. Password attacks involve cracking passwords using methods like dictionary attacks—where commonly used words are tried—or brute force attacks, which attempt every possible combination of characters. These methods can be surprisingly effective against weak or predictable passwords.
A backdoor allows an attacker to maintain access to a compromised system even after security measures are put in place. This is achieved by installing malicious programs that provide remote access or by modifying existing software to allow unauthorized entry. Backdoors are often hard to detect, which makes understanding them a critical part of evaluating and mitigating security risks.
