Using an intermediary that redirects requests to additional hosts allows an attacker to move beyond initial footholds. Tunneling data with DNS is designed to conceal activity but does not forward traffic for further access. Transmitting requests unencrypted can enable data capture, but it does not set up a forwarding path. Deploying a hidden backdoor focuses on long-term unauthorized access rather than forwarding traffic to new targets.
