• Red Hat

• Blue Hat

Amateur hackers who are not qualified. They depend on programs and files to hack and don't bother to learn how they work.

Deleting entire logs is the best way to cover your tracks

• True

• False

The evidence found in the phases is never delivered to the clients

• True

• False

Which is the phase where the exploits are launched or different techniques are used in order to compromise a team and take control of it?

• Gaining Access

• Scanning

• Maintaining Access

• Covering Tracks

• Planning and Reconnaissance

What is the objective of the Maintaining Access phase

• To understand how a target reacts to various intrusion attempts, in two ways – when the application’s code is static and when the application’s code is functioning.

• This is the phase where the real hacking takes place. Vulnerabilities discovered during the reconnaissance and scanning phase are now exploited to gain access.

• Avoid detection by security personnel, to continue to use the owned system, to remove evidence of hacking, or to avoid legal action.

• Is use persitence for a long duration in the infected system in order to steal sensitive information or to spread inside the network, quickly gaining access to the server.
