System Hacking

System Hacking

System hacking is the process of trying to compromise the target system with the help of the information we collect from the pre-attack phases (Footprinting and scanning).

Exploit

Exploits can help gain superuser-level access to a computer system. Hackers manage to gain low-level access; then they try to escalate privileges to the highest level (root). The exploit becomes unusable; once the vulnerability is fixed through a patch.

Exploits are Classified based on how the exploit communicates with the vulnerable software.

● A remote exploit works over a network and exploits the security vulnerability without any prior access to the vulnerable system.
