Social Engineering and Technical Exploitation

Technical exploitation comes down to four basics: patching, permissions, people, and physical. In a world rife with hackers and exploiters, malware and malice, understanding the influx of bad actors is important in establishing a secure operating environment. Learn the basics of technical exploitation and how hackers target and ultimately exploit vulnerable people and places. A technical background is helpful for grasping the details.
