Linux04: Hidden Files & Directories

Not everything in a directory shows up by default — and that is exactly why attackers love hiding configuration and persistence mechanisms in dotfiles

Objective

Learner can reveal hidden files and directories and navigate into them

Mission

Marcus suspects the attacker dropped a hidden persistence config somewhere under ~/cases/case-1042/. Standard ls shows nothing unusual — but a deeper inspection reveals a hidden directory. Find it and report the value of beacon_interval from the config file inside it

Commands you may need to solve this lab

ls -acdcat
