Internal Security Assessment: Field Guide

Successful Techniques To Hack Your Way To Admin

Paul Seekamp

As data breaches become more common, the cost per incident averages at about $2.2 million. This book will allow you to follow the most common and successful attacks a professional penetration tester uses to find gaps in security before the malicious actors do.

Paul is sharing his secrets from over 10 years of experience as a security consultant.

About the Book

This book is a cheat sheet that covers specific tools and most successful commands and techniques used by professional hackers to gain access to the most sensitive systems on the internal business's network.

With only 55+ pages of direct content, the book excludes details and dives directly into methodology and commands to rein in the kingdom of administrators. Go from no credentials to Administrator in most environments within a matter of hours. This book does not include external, social engineering or application assessments. These will likely be separate books.

Topics Covered:

  • Reconnaissance
  • Vulnerability Identification
  • Initial Foothold
  • Cracking Hashes
  • Vertical Privilege Escalation
  • Horizontal Privilege Escalation
  • Credential Pillaging
  • Wireless
  • Methodology

Note: This book will never reach 100% completion. I expect to update, as new attacks are discovered. Upon purchase, you will receive free updates for life.
