Episode 53 — Spaced Retrieval: Post-Exploitation Tactics and Detection Cues Rapid Review
This high-intensity spaced retrieval session reinforces the post-exploitation story, ensuring you can rapidly recognize signs of escalation, lateral movement, and data theft. We move through spoken drills that require you to define privilege escalation and identify high-risk target identities, such as domain administrators or service accounts. This session forces you to recall the meaning of internal discovery and the specific artifacts, like file shares or directory maps, that attackers seek. We practice a scenario involving a suspicious administrative group change followed by new outbound connections, requiring you to link these events into a single cohesive narrative. The discussion highlights the pitfall of treating isolated alerts as unrelated events rather than connected links in a broader campaign. By actively retrieving these concepts, you build the professional muscle memory needed for fast containment and credential resets in real-world environments.
