Exploitation Techniques
Brute Force
A methodical attack strategy that attempts every possible password or key combination to gain unauthorized system access. While time-consuming, it remains effective against systems with weak authentication mechanisms.
Exploits Database
Access and leverage pre-existing vulnerability databases containing ready-to-use exploits. These comprehensive repositories help identify and execute proven attack vectors against documented system weaknesses.
Trojans
Malicious programs disguised as legitimate software, utilizing both reverse and bind connections to establish unauthorized system access. These tools enable remote control while evading detection.
