    Luno Tools Run Command documentation Page 1/6 Luno Tools Run Command Description Run Command aims to be a user-friendly way to run command line applications, command line system calls and single line shell scripts. Setup 1. Build a working command outside Switch It is important to start with a command which achieves your task and which needs to work outside Switch. On Mac, this means you build and test the command in the Terminal App. On Windows, you build the command in “Command Prompt” (Cmd.exe) or “Windows Powershell”. By example, we can build a command which retrieves the permissions of one file and stores it in another file. On mac we can achieve this using the following command: ls -l /path/to/inputfile.txt > /path/to/outputfolder/filename.txt And on Windows Command Prompt using this command : icacls -l C:\path\to\inputfile.txt > C:\path\to\outputfolder\filename.txt If you have issues with your command at this stage (you don’t achieve the output you want, you have errors, …), then the issue is not related to the “Run Command” app itself. The people with the most knowledge about your issue are the people who are expert at the command line application, command line system call or shell script you are trying to use. Usually, there are help pages, support forums, support people specific for these applications who can help you. Alternatively, you can also ask help on the Enfocus forums. 2. Handle spaces correctly When working with these kinds of commands a space is used to separate different parts of the command, by example a space is placed between the command name and the path to the inputfile.

  • A Hunting Story: What’S Hiding in Powershell Scripts and Pastebin Code? Saudi Actors
    RECORDED FUTURE THREAT INTELLIGENCE REPORT A Hunting Story: What’s Hiding in PowerShell Scripts and Pastebin Code? Saudi Actors By Levi Gundert Vice President of Intelligence and Strategy Summary › U.S. law enforcement recently released a flash bulletin about nation-state adversaries attacking public/private entities using specific TTPs (spearphishing, PowerShell scripts, base64 encoding, etc.). › A hunt for similar TTPs in Recorded Future produces a wealth of recent intelligence, specifically around PowerShell use and base64 string encoding found in PowerShell scripts and code hosted on Pastebin. › Pastebin is routinely used to stage code containing encoded strings that convert to malware, and mainstream business resources like Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Office 365 are equally likely future destinations for staging malicious strings used in targeted attacks › The Arabic speaking actor operating the njRAT instance connecting to osaam2014.no-ip[.]biz may be the same actor operating the njRAT instance that previously connected to htomshi.zapto[.]org. Recorded Future proprietary intelligence indicates with a high degree of confidence that both actors are located in Saudi Arabia. › Hunting in Farsight Security’s passive DNS data produces useful DNS TXT record examples, specifically base64 encoded text records, which may be used in PowerShell Empire scripts. › Enterprise employees fetch favicon.ico files (web browser address bar tab icons) from mainstream websites thousands to millions of times daily making detection of rogue .ico files particularly tricky. › Since 2014 there have been over 550 PowerShell command references in code repositories, over 2,800 references in paste sites, and over 3,000 social media references collected and analyzed by Recorded Future.

Introduction 1.1 What is Spoofing Spoofing is an umbrella term for the type of behaviour that involves a cybercriminal impersonating a trusted entity or a device to access, destroy or misuse the victim’s information. Think of it as an online scammer disguising his identity as someone trustable. Spoofing can be done on various communication channels and can involve different levels of technical complexity. Spoofing attacks usually utilise an element of social engineering, i.e psychologically manipulating the attacker’s targets through their emotions like fear, greed or sometimes even lack of a technical knowledge.

How do I manage them? Managing Files and Folders What are files? A file is a collection of information “data” that we give a name and store somewhere in the computer. Files can be stored in USB drives, Compact discs (CDs), Digital video discs (DVDs) and Hard disks. Files are organized and managed inside folders. So what are folders? Folders are objects “cabinet drawers” that can house many files inside them. Think of folders, like the rooms you have in your house, every room is dedicated for a very specific purpose. 3 One of the main programs to manage and show files in windows is Windows Explorer. There are many ways to start Windows Explorer. Press start, accessories and then Windows Explorer. 4 Exploring Files and Folders Viewing folder content in Windows Explorer. The name of the selected folder Click to expand Contents of the selected folder 5 File Names and Extensions Files will have a name and an extension. The file name describes what the file is about.
