- [Voiceover] Do you ever wonder how easy it might be

to obtain a password and get into your system?

Once in the system, what can malicious parties do?

Could they escalate their privileges

to the administrator level?

Hi, my name is Lisa Bock, and I'm a security ambassador.

In this course, I'll explore the third phase

of ethical hacking, system hacking,

an important phase for many reasons.

After scanning target systems,

the ethical hacker is then armed with more information,

and has a better idea of how malicious parties

might get deeper into a system.

In this course, I'll go over methods to obtain a password,

then once obtained, ways to escalate your privileges

and execute applications.

I'll cover spyware, capturing screen activity,

and keystroke loggers.

I'll review ways of hiding in plain sight

using alternate data streams and steganography.

Finally, I'll discuss ways to cover your tracks.

This course is part of the Ethical Hacking series.

Are you ready?

Let's get started.
