Analysing Linux Exploitation Techniques and Post-Exploitation Strategies
About This Course
In this module, participant s will explore techniques for user enumeration and the identification of vulnerabilities in mainly Unix systems and Oracle databases. Through practical exercises, learners will gain hands-on experience in discovering valid usernames, exploiting known vulnerabilities, and conducting post-exploitation activities. By the end of this module, participants will be equipped with the skills to identify and address security weaknesses in various network services and systems
