Exercise 1 – a noob's keylogger

Consider a scenario where an attacker has planted a keylogger on one of the systems in the network. Your job as an investigator is to find the following pieces of information:

  • Find the infected system
  • Trace the data to the server
  • Find the frequency of the data that is being sent
  • Find what other information is carried besides the keystrokes
  • Try to uncover the attacker
  • Extract and reconstruct the files that have been sent to the attacker

Additionally, in this exercise, you need to assume that the packet capture (PCAP) file is not available and that you have to do the sniffing-out part as well. Let's say that you are connected to a mirror port on the network where you can see all the data traveling to and from the network.

The capture file for this network capture is available at https://github.com/nipunjaswal...
