Windows Persistence Techniques (MITRE ATT&CK Mapped) – Complete Red Team Course

Windows persistence is one of the most important topics for red teamers, malware analysts, DFIR professionals, and cybersecurity students. Understanding persistence techniques helps both attackers simulate real-world threats and defenders detect and respond to them.

This article accompanies my full YouTube course, which covers Windows internals, persistence mechanisms, privilege escalation, post-exploitation concepts, and digital forensics in a controlled lab environment.
