Actual exam question for Eccouncil's 212-82 exam

Question #: 25
Topic #: 4

A disgruntled employee has set up a RAT (Remote Access Trojan) server in one of the machines in the target network to steal sensitive corporate documents. The IP address of the target machine where the RAT is installed is 20.20.10.26. Initiate a remote connection to the target machine from the "Attacker Machine-1" using the Theef client. Locate the "Sensitive Corporate Documents" folder in the target machine's Documents directory and determine the number of files. Mint: Theef folder is located at Z:\CCT-Tools\CCT Module 01 Information Security Threats and Vulnerabilities\Remote Access Trojans (RAT)\Theef of the Attacker Machine1.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The number of files in the ''Sensitive Corporate Documents'' folder is 4. This can be verified by initiating a remote connection to the target machine from the ''Attacker Machine-1'' using Theef client. Theef is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that allows an attacker to remotely control a victim's machine and perform various malicious activities. To connect to the target machine using Theef client, one can follow these steps:

Launch Theef client from Z:CCT-ToolsCCT Module 01 Information Security Threats and VulnerabilitiesRemote Access Trojans (RAT)Theef on the ''Attacker Machine-1''.

Enter the IP address of the target machine (20.20.10.26) and click on Connect.

Wait for a few seconds until a connection is established and a message box appears saying ''Connection Successful''.

Click on OK to close the message box and access the remote desktop of the target machine.

Navigate to the Documents directory and locate the ''Sensitive Corporate Documents'' folder.

Open the folder and count the number of files in it. The screenshot below shows an example of performing these steps: Reference: [Theef Client Tutorial], [Screenshot of Theef client showing remote desktop and folder]

I have a vague memory of this setup. I think the answer is 2 files, but I could be confusing it with another RAT scenario we went over.

I definitely practiced using Theef before, but I can't remember the exact number of sensitive documents. I feel like it could be 5, but I might be mixing it up with another exercise.

This scenario feels familiar. I think I encountered a similar question about counting files in a directory. I want to say there were 3 files, but I'm not entirely sure.

I remember practicing with Theef, but I can't quite recall how many files were in that folder. I think it might be 4?

I'm a little confused about the whole "disgruntled employee" and "RAT server" part. I want to make sure I'm not doing anything unethical or illegal here. Maybe I should double-check with the instructor before proceeding.

I've got this! I've worked with Theef before, so I know exactly how to use it to connect to the target machine. I'll quickly locate the "Sensitive Corporate Documents" folder and count the number of files.

This seems like a tricky question. I'll need to be really careful with the steps to avoid any potential legal issues. I'll double-check the instructions and make sure I'm following them exactly.

Okay, this looks like a straightforward question. I'll start by locating the Theef folder on the Attacker Machine-1 and then use it to connect to the target machine at 20.20.10.26. Once connected, I'll navigate to the Documents directory and find the "Sensitive Corporate Documents" folder to determine the number of files.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to make sure I understand the steps correctly before attempting to connect to the target machine. I don't want to accidentally do anything illegal or cause any harm.

This question seems straightforward - I think the key is understanding what "right-to-work states" means in the context of unions and employees.

I believe the correct answer is 3. The question specifies the location of the Theef folder, so there might be 3 files in the 'Sensitive Corporate Documents' folder.

I'm not sure, but I think the answer might be 2. It could be a trick question to test our knowledge of RAT servers.

Alright, let's take a look at the question. If we're going to do this, we should make sure we get the right answer. My money's on C - 5 files.

I hear you, but I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of actually carrying out the attack, even in a simulated environment. Maybe we could just discuss the general principles instead?

I agree, this seems a bit too realistic. I'd feel better if the question focused more on general security concepts rather than a specific attack scenario.
