This is the story of one hacker who met his match in the form of machine learning, behavioral analysis, artificial intelligence, and a dedicated SOC team while breaking into an offshore service provider.

Most hacking tools simply crash and burn in such a hostile environment.

What is a hacker to do when facing such a fully equipped opponent?

In this new edition, we cover step-by-step tricks and techniques to circumvent next-generation security vendors that gracefully sponsor the many big shot hacking conferences, including Unmanaged PowerShell, C# Reflection, DKIM signatures, Kerberoasting, terminating protected processes and many more essential tips for hacking and red team assignments alike.

Better buckle up, this is going to be one hell of a ride!

This book's edition assumes prior knowledge of basic Windows principles such as NTLM, pass-the-hash, Windows Active Directory, group policy objects and so forth. If you are scantly comfortable with these concepts, I strongly encourage you to first read How to Hack Like a Pornstar or How to Hack Like a God before taking on this book.
