Administrative tools are legitimate software utilities designed to help IT professionals and system administrators manage, monitor, and configure computer systems and networks. Common examples include Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), PowerShell, and Secure Shell (SSH). While essential for maintaining system health and security, these tools can be exploited by cyber attackers to gain unauthorized access, move laterally within networks, or execute malicious commands. Organizations must secure and monitor the use of administrative tools to prevent misuse and detect potential threats, as attackers often leverage these trusted utilities to evade detection and maintain persistence within compromised environments.
