Great video sir. I watch your videos and i want to ask, how do you call this type of pentest that attacks Windows OS? What do i have to start learning to become a pentester? I have intermediate computer knowledge and have already started programming

[@CyberAttackDefense]

Most pentesters start with something like the OSCP or GPEN. Then throw out your resume as a jr tester.

16:34 Can you actually relay the SMB auth to itself? I'm pretty sure that does not work on modern systems anymore.

[@CyberAttackDefense]

It’s more likely you would relay to ADCS or another system. It depends on how old the OS is and how well patched but yes in most cases you are correct you can't relay on modern systems back to itself. I will say I have done this recently but looking back at the test it was an older OS.
