CompTIA PenTest+: Moving Laterally Throughout the Environment

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. In a penetration testing (pen testing) context, moving laterally refers to the act of navigating from one system or network segment to another within a target organization's infrastructure after gaining initial access. In this course, explore techniques such as pivoting, SMB relaying, enumeration, and service discovery, as well as how they are used to move laterally once inside a compromised environment. Next, learn how to move laterally using both Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and Windows Remote Management (WinRM). Finally, compare the tools used to facilitate lateral movement throughout a compromised network. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) certification exam.
