Explanation:

The number of files in the "Sensitive Corporate Documents" folder is 4. This can be verified by initiating a remote connection to the target machine from the "Attacker Machine-1" using Theef client. Theef is a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that allows an attacker to remotely control a victim's machine and perform various malicious activities. To connect to the target machine using Theef client, one can follow these steps:

Launch Theef client from Z:\CCT-Tools\CCT Module 01 Information Security Threats and Vulnerabilities\Remote Access Trojans (RAT)\Theef on the "Attacker Machine-1".

Enter the IP address of the target machine (20.20.10.26) and click on Connect.

Wait for a few seconds until a connection is established and a message box appears saying "Connection Successful".

Click on OK to close the message box and access the remote desktop of the target machine.

Navigate to the Documents directory and locate the "Sensitive Corporate Documents" folder.

Open the folder and count the number of files in it. The screenshot below shows an example of performing these steps: Reference: [Theef Client Tutorial], [Screenshot of Theef client showing remote desktop and folder]

Explanation:

TCP Timestamps is the vulnerability with a severity score of 8.0. This can be verified by performing a vulnerability assessment of the web server located at IP address 20.20.10.26 using the OpenVAS vulnerability scanner, available with the Parrot Security machine, with credentials admin/password.

To perform the vulnerability assessment, one can follow these steps:

Launch the Parrot Security machine and open a terminal.

Enter the command sudo openvas-start to start the OpenVAS service and wait for a few minutes until it is ready.

Open a web browser and navigate to https://127.0.0.1:9392 to access the OpenVAS web interface.

Enter the credentials admin/password to log in to OpenVAS.

Click on Scans -> Tasks from the left menu and then click on the blue icon with a star to create a new task.

Enter a name and a comment for the task, such as "Web Server Scan".

Select "Full and fast" as the scan config from the drop-down menu.

Click on the icon with a star next to Target to create a new target.

Enter a name and a comment for the target, such as "Web Server".

Enter 20.20.10.26 as the host in the text box and click on Save.

Select "Web Server" as the target from the drop-down menu and click on Save.

Click on the green icon with a play button next to the task name to start the scan and wait for it to finish.

Click on the task name to view the scan report and click on Results from the left menu to see the list of vulnerabilities found.

Sort the list by Severity in descending order and look for the vulnerability with a severity score of 8.0.

The screenshot below shows an example of performing these steps: The vulnerability with a severity score of 8.0 is TCP Timestamps, which is an option in TCP packets that can be used to measure roundtrip time and improve performance, but it can also reveal information about the system's uptime, clock skew, or TCP sequence numbers, which can be used by attackers to launch various attacks, such as idle scanning, OS fingerprinting, or TCP hijacking1. The vulnerability report provides more details about this vulnerability, such as its description, impact, solution, references, and CVSS score2.
