CompTIA PenTest+: Staging & Data Exfiltration

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Data exfiltration refers to the unauthorized transfer of data from a computer or a network to an external location. It typically involves the extraction of sensitive or confidential information by malicious actors, either through deliberate actions such as hacking or insider threats, or unintentional means such as accidental data leaks. In this course, you'll explore various concepts related to staging and data exfiltration. Discover how encryption and compression can help obfuscate the collected data and minimize the amount of data sent over the network, and explore how to leverage covert communication channels to transfer illegitimate data. Lastly, explore how to leverage email, cross-account resources, cloud storage, alternate data streams, text storage sites, and virtual drive mounting to be used for data exfiltration. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) certification exam.
