Linux Vulnerabilities & Exploits: Learn Attack & Defense – Morpheus Edition
In my Attacking and Defending a Linux System – Morpheus Edition webinar, we attacked a new Linux Boot-to-Root system called “Morpheus:1.” I encourage you to watch it or, if you’re feeling adventurous, to download the virtual machine and follow along, performing the attack yourself. In this blog, I will walk through a Linux attack path to demonstrate how attackers look to exploit vulnerabilities, then I will explore several ways to break the cyberattack chain.
