Local Account Discovery, Creation, and Manipulation
After gaining initial access on a system, adversaries may want to do some discovery work on local accounts and maintain persistence on a victim system as they create and manipulate accounts in order to maintain their access. Learn to detect such suspicious activity in this course!
Course Description
Adversaries may conduct discovery work on local accounts in order to identify targets for credential theft and privilege escalation. Plus, threat actors can create new accounts to maintain persistence on a target–whether they deploy malware near this stage or not. Adversaries might also modify user accounts to maintain persistence–as part of an action chain that results in the creation of an unauthorized, administrative user account.
