- Use low-level employee accounts to access sensitive information
- Steal usernames and passwords from a single computer and use them the gain more access
- Elevate their access from standard employee level to administrator

- Leverage seemingly small misconfigurations to fully take over a victim’s environment.
Along the way, we’ll provide you with tips for stopping hackers at every stage. Learn how to thwart hackers with simple configuration changes and strong auditing techniques.
