# Exploiters

Exploiters are Infection Monkey plugins that attempt to infect machines
throughout the network by spreading copies of the Agent.

##

In a network breach, the exploitation phase is a critical stage where attackers
identify specific vulnerabilities in the environment through reconnaissance and
scanning, and accordingly select appropriate exploitation techniques to
compromise the network. By leveraging these vulnerabilities, attackers are able
to gain unauthorized access to systems, escalate privileges, or execute
malicious actions.
During an attack, the exploitation phase is when attackers carry out chosen
exploitation techniques to compromise the network after identifying specific

Infection Monkey has several exploiters that mimic real-world attack vectors.
To the best of our knowledge, most of these exploiters pose no risk to
performance or services on victim machines. The potentially harmful ones are
clearly marked as "unsafe" in the Monkey Island.
