Fulfilling Pre-ATT&CK objectives -- Gaining initial access -- Achieving code execution -- Maintaining persistence -- Performing privilege escalation -- Evading defenses -- Accessing credentials -- Performing discovery -- Moving laterally -- Collecting intelligence -- Implementing command and control -- Exfiltrating data -- Achieving impact.
Summary: Offers readers a structured and hands-on introduction to the use of Python in the context of computer security. Using the MITRE ATT&CK frameworks as a set of guideposts, Poston explores the lifecycle of a cyberattack and how Python code can be used to overcome critical challenges and threats at each stage of the attack process. Each chapter includes discussions of several techniques and sub-techniques that could be used to achieve an attacker's objectives in any of these use cases.
