I feel like I should know how many files are in that folder, but I keep second-guessing myself. Was it 3 or 4?

This reminds me of a similar question we had about counting files in a directory. I think I got it right then, but I can't recall the exact steps now.

I remember practicing remote connections, but I'm not entirely sure how to count the files once I'm in.

Hmm, I'm a little confused about the whole RAT and thief client thing. I'll need to do some research on those concepts before I can confidently answer this question. Might be a good idea to ask the instructor for some clarification.

Alright, let me break this down step-by-step. First, I need to locate the thief folder on the attacker machine. Then, I'll use the thief client to connect to the server and check the number of files in the folder. I think I can handle this.

Wait, so I'm supposed to use a RAT to steal sensitive corporate documents? That doesn't sound right. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that approach, even if it's just for an exam question.
