MAINTAINING ACCESS

Maintaining Access, is the step you take immediately once you have gained access to the target system, and only once you have done everything that you needed to get done immediately. Once again, Metasploit will be used more commonly for this step. This is the time where you will find some sort of backdoor to set up on the target device, so that you can come back to it for further access.

Methods used as a 'backdoor' can be anything as simple as creating a new user, and opening an SSH tunnel to your PC, or as complicated as turning the target into a slave for your zombie army. (Bad Black Hat!) Once you have gained access to a target, maintaining is usually fairly simple, at least in some way.
