Abusing network shares for efficient lateral movements and privesc (DirSharePivot)
Background About a year ago my team and I had were called to perform a forensic analysis on a customer network. The reason for this was that a computer was first infected by a ransomware, and for some (unknown) reasons, several other workstations were getting "infected" after only 3 hours.

(practical exploitation code will be provided). ...
