Examine System.evtx and Security.evtx . Look for Event ID 4624 (Successful Login) coming from unusual IP addresses. g0386.7z.005

Before starting your analysis, ensure the integrity of the file. If part .005 is corrupted, the entire extraction will fail. You can verify the hash (usually provided by the challenge platform) using: Get-FileHash g0386.7z.005 Linux: sha256sum g0386.7z.005 A scheduled task or a new local administrator

Use a tool like 7-Zip (Windows) or the 7z command line (Linux/macOS) to open the first file ( g0386.7z.001 ). The software will automatically pull data from part .005 as needed. Command: 7z x g0386.7z.001 2. Common Content: The "G0386" Scenario Look for Event ID 4624 (Successful Login) coming
