replicate critical data to an off-site data storage service, typically in the cloud. For the short term, tertiary/auxiliary backups have 30 to 90 days of total retention. Use a daily schedule and avoid any continually open network ports or services that a ransomware attacker could exploit....
The scan revealed Apache 2.4.41, vulnerable to a known exploit. I exported the results to XML, imported them into Metasploit, and used theapache_mod_cgi_bash_env_execmodule to gain a shell. Another time, I piped Nmap’s grepable output to Hydra for SSH brute-forcing: ...
To exploit the vulnerability, we used aMetasploitmodule calledmulti/http/struts2_content_type_ognl. The module sends a crafted HTTP payload to exploit thevulnerability. We also established a reverse shell back to our attack host using astaged reverse TCP shellpayload. ...
So you've managed to get a shell on the target, but you only have measly low-level privileges. Now what? Privilege escalation is a vast field and can be one...
