THM - Advent of Cyber [Day 20]

Today’s task is about finding and dealing with viruses and antiviruses. This task has us run the file command in linux to help ID the file type that we’re dealing with. It also prompts us to use the strings command. This will help to see specific strings associated with the binary that can give us clues like maybe commands or IP addresses.

This task involves looking up information on virustotal and doing some basic research with a couple of basic linux commands. Really with this one, you can get most task questions answered with:

  • strings
  • file
  • Research on the link provided in the task.
