Presented at ekoparty 14 (2018), Sept. 28, 2018, 4 p.m. (120 minutes)

Once a machine is compromised, it is time for post-exploitation. Empire Project allows us to seize Python´s or Powershell´s maximum power, so as to carry out different actions: collection, elevation, pivoting... and a lot more! Are you ready? This workshop aims to show different techniques used in the post-exploitation stage, mainly in Windows environments, being also capable of showing a Linux and OSX example, though. The workshop´s basis are showing the Empire tool of the Empire Project. This framework allows the attendants do any post-exploitation action by using modules. It is a similar Metasploit framework, but seizes the Python (system function) and Powershell power at its máximum. Content: What is Empire? Is it only for Windows systems? No! Architecture and parts of empire 3a. Agents. 3b. Listeners. 3c. Stagers 3d. Modules. Types of listeners and their setup. Turning a stager into an agent.
