Penetration testing is an activity that helps discover and mitigate vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. Depending on the scope of penetration testing, lateral movement or privilege escalation techniques may be necessary. Harvesting stored credentials is a common technique that is used for lateral movement or privilege escalation after initial compromise.
