Introduction

Last time we looked at getting a lab environment set up.

This week we are going to put it to use, looking at using the command line to talk to remote machines. We will also look at different techniques to get a shell (or code execution) on a remote machine.

For the practical work we will explore using these different types of shells, making use of SSH tunnels, and having the chance to play with different types of remote shell without having to do the full exploit.

Topics for the Week

  • Talking to a remote machine
