Credential Harvesting lesson

 Greeting Programs!

Welcome to November! The year is flying by!

I learned about this in the Certified Ethical Hacker bootcamp class I attended back in July. When my instructor gave this lesson I was floored at how quickly this process happens. Not just in how quickly a full attack can be set up and run but how quickly the attacker gets the user's credentials.
