Service Exploitation Fundamentals

Service exploitation involves identifying and leveraging vulnerabilities in network services to gain unauthorized access or extract sensitive information.

Key Concepts:

  • Vulnerability Assessment: Identifying weaknesses in running services
  • Exploit Development: Creating or modifying code to abuse vulnerabilities
  • Privilege Escalation: Gaining higher system privileges (e.g., user → root)
  • Post-Exploitation: Maintaining access, pivoting to other systems, or extracting sensitive data
  • Enumeration: Gathering detailed information from exposed services
