Summary
In this chapter, we discussed the operating system backdoors such as cymothoa, intersect, and metsvc, which can be used to maintain access on target machines.
Next, we discussed protocol tunneling tools that can wrap one network protocol to another. The goal of this protocol tunneling is to bypass any mechanism enacted by the target machine to limit our capability to connect to the outside world. The tools in this category are dns2tcp, iodine, ncat, proxychains, ptunnel, socat, sslh, and stunnel4.

In the next chapter, we will discuss documenting, ...
