On a Windows endpoint, review process creation logs to uncover when a built-in utility was used to reveal ARP entries. What exact command was used to list the ARP cache?

On Windows hosts, look through recent PowerShell execution records to find any elevated session where remote management was turned on. What exact command was run to enable PSRemoting?

A user launched a Windows command prompt and executed a built-in utility to enumerate all active network connections. Using process creation logs, identify the exact tool that produced the list of current connections.

On a Windows endpoint, review process execution logs to see if any PowerShell sessions were wiped clean. Which command was executed to clear the PowerShell history?

On a Linux host, review account management activity in Syslog or process event logs to pinpoint which command was executed to create a new local user. What was the name of the tool invoked?

On Windows systems, disabling RDP via the registry generates registry write events. Investigate registry event logs for modifications under the Terminal Server configuration path. What is the name of the registry value that was changed to disable Remote Desktop Protocol?

In Windows process event logs, you notice both the net time and w32tm commands being executed to display the system time and timezone. Which executor name from the test configuration was responsible for launching these utilities?

Investigating a Windows device, you suspect a non-standard executable was launched to set up a named pipe for client-server messaging. Determine the name of the executable that was run.

On a Linux system you suspect someone altered Bash’s history settings to hide their activity. Investigate process logs for evidence of HISTCONTROL being set to ignore entries. What was the full command executed to configure HISTCONTROL?

Within Linux process execution records, locate any bash commands where the HISTFILESIZE environment variable was exported. What value was assigned to HISTFILESIZE?

Using Windows process event logs, investigate PowerShell activity around lsass.exe memory capture. What was the name of the script file invoked to perform the dump?

On Windows devices, identify the full command used when the built-in credential manager utility was invoked to list stored credentials. What was the exact command?

On a Linux system, review process creation logs to spot any dd commands reading from /proc/*/mem. What was the name of the file where the dumped memory was written?

On a Windows host, an attacker leveraged COMSVCS.DLL via rundll32.exe to dump the memory of svchost.exe into a file under the Temp directory. Review the file creation logs to determine the exact name of the dump file that was generated.

On a Linux host, a ping command was executed to test internet connectivity. Determine which IP address was used as the ping target.

A Linux host’s Syslog shows a shell-based network discovery script ran multiple commands. One of them listed current TCP connections. Which utility was invoked?

Review Linux process execution records for any commands that list TCP metric cache entries and filter out loopback interfaces. Which utility was used?

A Windows host executed an ICMP-based network reconnaissance using a looping instruction in cmd.exe. Identify the exact command line that was used to perform the ping sweep.

A Windows host shows a process launch with an extremely obfuscated command line that dynamically builds and invokes code at runtime. Which process name was used to execute this payload?

A threat actor on a Windows system crafted and registered a service named almost identically to the standard time service, but redirecting execution to a custom script. Review the logging data to determine which native command-line tool was used to perform this action. What utility was invoked?

Analyze Windows process events for any schtasks.exe commands that created a new task invoking PowerShell. What is the name of the .ps1 script specified to run?

On a Windows device, PowerShell was used to collect a snapshot of running processes. Identify the exact cmdlet that was executed.

On a Windows host, investigate process events to find when Task Manager was launched via cmd with an unusual flag. What was the full command executed?

A malicious actor may attempt to list running processes on a Windows machine using a WMI-based command. Review the process creation events to find out which utility was invoked to perform this enumeration.

While reviewing Windows process events, you spot a PowerShell process executing a WMI enumeration cmdlet. What WMI class name did the attacker query?
