- Abstract
- Many companies choose to perform internal cybersecurity assessments to test and train their employees. This work presents two simulated attacks that would likely be used in such an assessment: a phishing attack, aimed at stealing credentials using a misleading email, and a backdoor, allowing an attacker to fully access a Windows machine and its files without the user’s knowledge. Both attacks will be explained to understand how they operate and how we can avoid becoming victims.
