In this chapter, we started by preparing our attacker and target machines, and then proceeded to learn and code TCP and an HTTP reverse shell. For each of these reverse shells, we looked into data exfiltration and exporting the Python script into .exe, which made the attack independent of the Python compiler. We learned how to make the connection persistent. We also looked into tuning connection attempts and countermeasures to prevent the attacks we learned about.
In the next chapter, we'll cover DDNS, interactive Twitter, countermeasures, replicating Metasploit screen capturing, target directory navigation, and integrating low-level port scanners.
