During the course of this chapter, you have learned about internal network scanning, MITM attacks, packet analysis, privilege escalation, lateral movement using Meterpreter, disabling Windows Defender using PowerShell, and VLAN hopping.

You now have the skills required to perform internal network scanning using tools such as AutoScan-Network, Zenmap, and Netdiscover. Additionally, you are now able to capture packets and perform packet analysis using Wireshark to view victims' traffic as it flows through the target network. Furthermore, you know how to successfully execute post-connection attacks such as lateral movement (pivoting), as well as how to disable Windows Defender virus protection on a victim's system using PowerShell.

I hope this chapter will prove to be helpful and informative in your studies and career. In Chapter 12, Network Penetration Testing - Detection and Security, you will learn about detecting ARP poisoning attacks and suspicious activities and look at some remediation techniques.
