Linux20: Evidence Packaging

Evidence and reports don't move between teams as loose files — they're bundled into a single compressed archive for transfer and chain of custody

Objective

Learner can create and extract tar archives and understand the distinction between archiving (tar) and compression (gzip)

Mission

Before shift handoff, package everything in ~/cases/case-1042/evidence/ into a single archive case-1042-evidence.tar.gz. Separately, extract suspicious archive ~/downloads/unknown-payload.tar.gz into ~/cases/case-1042/sandbox-inspect/ for inspection

Commands you may need to solve this lab

tar -czvftar -xzvf
