What file system vulnerability does the following command take advantage of?

type c:\anyfile.exe > c:\winnt\system32\calc.exe:anyfile.exe

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Canaries or canary words are known values that are placed between a buffer and control data on the stack to monitor buffer overflows. When the buffer overflows, it will clobber the canary, making the overflow evident. This is a reference to the historic practice of using canaries in coal mines, since they would be affected by toxic gases earlier than the miners, thus providing a biological warning system.

Backdoor access isn't the right term here, it's more about file system tricks.

Wait, can you really do that with calc.exe? Sounds fishy.

Backdoor access sounds too broad for this question. I lean towards ADS, but I hope I’m not mixing it up with something else!

I remember practicing a similar question about file systems, and I think it was about NTFS vulnerabilities. But this one seems different.

I think this command is related to Alternate Data Streams, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right term.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The command looks like it's trying to create a file called "calc.exe" in the system32 directory, but I'm not sure how that relates to a file system vulnerability. I'll have to do some more research on this before I can answer it.

Ah, I know this one! The command is using an NTFS feature called Alternate Data Streams (ADS) to create a hidden file. That's the vulnerability it's taking advantage of. I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The command seems to be doing something with a file called "calc.exe" but I'm not sure how that relates to a file system vulnerability. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Backdoor access? Really? That's about as subtle as a bull in a china shop. I'm going with the good old ADS option, that's where the real magic happens.
