Disabling antivirus might help, but not the main step here.

I doubt he has full access yet, privilege escalation is key.

Wait, isn't "501" admin already?

I thought disabling antivirus was important, but maybe that's not the main step here. It seems like he needs to escalate privileges first.

I feel like this question is similar to one we practiced where we had to escalate privileges after gaining initial access.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about the "501" indicating a user account, not necessarily admin access.

I think he needs to perform privilege escalation since the SID shows he might not have admin rights yet.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Ansible and Puppet are used for automation, but I'm not sure which specific benefits they provide. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Avoid A for sure - that's way too accusatory and will make him defensive immediately.

This is a good test of my understanding of routing. I'll carefully review the routing table and the destination IP to determine the appropriate path.

I'm feeling confident about this one. The route command is definitely the way to go for viewing the local routing table. And I think netstat is also a good option, since it can provide some additional routing-related information. I'll mark those two.

I thought Cisco Firepower handled more of the in-network threats, but I'm second-guessing whether it could help with remote users even when not on VPN.
