In this chapter, we learned about data exfiltration and why it is needed. Then, we learned some basic ways of transferring data using simple tools like Netcat, OpenSSL, and PowerShell. Next, we jumped into transforming the data using text-based steganography to avoid detection, as well as looking at the usage of the CloakifyFactory tool. We also learned about extracting data via DNS from a victim machine to our server. Lastly, we explored how to exfiltrate data using Dropbox API to avoid detection, suspicion, and for bypassing firewalls.
Our journey with you ends here. We hope that you have enjoyed reading these chapters and that you have learned from them as well.
