NetLab Assignment: Security+ Lab 2 Analyze and Differentiate Types of Malware and Applications Attacks. The Assignment says "Directions:

In your assigned group and only your assigned group, include those group member names of those who participated in the group in answering the following questions based upon this lab. Make sure to include Desktop screenshots (i.e. should include date and time) with your answers for each question unless the question says to not include screenshots. Make sure the screenshots can be read.

This lab is a little different from the others as you will need to explain how each of the following attacks work and provide screenshots and explain the screenshots. Make sure to explain in your own words.

If you do not complete the individual lab assignment, you will not earn any credit for the lab as you cannot fully participate in discussion with your group members.

1. Explain what a Shellshock vulnerability is and what the attacker must do to exploit a system. Explain how a user can check to see if this vulnerability exists on their system. Explain the danger of this vulnerability by what possible information an attacker can access and how this information could further their attack on a system.

2. Explain what Sguil can do for IT personnel trying to guard their systems. What is the benefit to having Sguil running?

3. Explain what a rootkit does. Pick a rootkit not covered in the lab and explain what it can do. How could this rootkit be detected on a system?

4. What is the purpose of the rkhunter application? Explain the different options available for what it can scan and how this would be useful to IT personnel.
