In this challenge, we're going to be taking a look at putting together all the information and learning we've done throughout this skill and applying it here.
Now, I do have a little bit to add to this because there's one more command or modification to a find command that I want to go over real quick, and that is to help you find UIDs that have been abandoned just a little bit easier.
So, real quick, inside of our lab environment, you can see here that I have find and slash xdev no user. I have the commands for this below.
Now, what this is going to do is scan the entirety of the actual hard drive, the root drive, and tell us an output of folders with the user ID that's associated with them.
So, there's been a user created on this system that has since been deleted after the last video of this course and before this one.
And using this command right here will allow you to be able to go through and find the user ID and potentially the username itself.
Now, that brings us into the actual portion of this skill that is the challenge.
That user did not delete any of their data, and nor did the local admin. So, the home directory for that user is still there, and on their desktop is a secret file with sensitive information.
And the question that's going to be at the end of this challenge is going to be, what is that sensitive information? It's a single word. I'll give you that.
So, I'll see you back at the solution to see how you've attacked this, and we'll see how I went about this as well. Be right back.
