Course Description

This course will cover the technique:

> [T1190](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1190/): Exploit Public-Facing Application, is used by threat actors to exploit vulnerabilities in public-facing applications to gain unauthorized access to targeted systems or networks. This technique involves identifying weaknesses in web applications or web servers and using them to inject malicious code or exploit vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access.

> Public-facing applications are software applications accessible to users over the internet, such as websites, online portals, or mobile applications. These applications are commonly used by organizations to provide services, support communication, and store sensitive data. However, they are also attractive targets for attackers seeking to exploit vulnerabilities in these applications to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or cause disruption to services.

This course will also cover:

  • [T1212](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1212/) - Exploitation for Credential Access
  • [T1059.001](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1059/001/) - Command and Scripting Interpreter: PowerShell
  • [T1505.003](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1505/003/) - Server Software Component: Web Shell
  • > Learn how to detect and mitigate these techniques to protect your organization from this type of attack. Apply what you learn and get the hands-on skills you need in Cybrary's MITRE ATT&CK Framework courses aligned to tactics and techniques used by threat actors.
