Summary

The path to successful authentication bypass (auth path) often begins with misconfigured services, making systems more vulnerable to exploitation. This can include open ports, outdated software, and poor password policies.As attackers gain initial access, social engineering tactics such as phishing become increasingly effective in establishing a foothold.

Phishing attacks can lead to the compromise of credentials, allowing attackers to move laterally within the network.Once inside, post-exploitation activities focus on establishing long-term access. This can involve techniques such as code injection, keylogging, and credential dumping.

Understanding these pre- and post-auth stages is crucial in preventing successful authentication bypass and reducing the risk of lateral movement in a compromised network.
