## let's start:

## Downloading the Capture File and Understanding the Assignment
1. Download the .pcap file from [pcap.](https://www.malware-traffic-analysis.net/2022/01/07/index.html)
2. Familiarize yourself with the assignment instructions.

## LAN segment data:
LAN segment range:  192.168.1[.]0/24 (192.168.1[.]0 through 192.168.1[.]255)
Domain:  spoonwatch[.]net
Domain controller:  192.168.1[.]9 - SPOONWATCH-DC
LAN segment gateway:  192.168.1[.]1
LAN segment broadcast address:  192.168.1[.]255

## OUR TASK:
    
Write an incident report based on the pcap and the alerts.
The incident report should contain the following:

**Executive Summary:** State in simple, direct terms what happened (when, who, what).
**Details:** Details of the victim (hostname, IP address, MAC address, Windows user account name).
**Indicators of Compromise (IOCs):** IP addresses, domains and URLs associated with the infection.  SHA256 hashes if any malware binaries can be extracted from the pcap.                                                  

## Identifying the Infected Host

This is my method for finding the infected host in a PCAP file, though it may not always guarantee accurate results.
1. In Wireshark, go to Statistics > Endpoint > IPv4.
2. Identify the IP associated with the most transferred packets within your LAN. This is likely the compromised host.

## Investigating the PCAP

The compromised host communicated with the malicious server. Applying Brad Duncan's popular basic filter:

(http.request || tls.handshake.type eq 1) && !(ssdp)


![Identifying OskiStealer malware Activity](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/bfehwu6s4o04mxoo11rh.png)

Using this filter, we found direct communication between the source IP 192.168.1.216 and the destination IP 2.56.57.108. Several POST requests were sent to 2.56.57.108.
The IP address 2.56.57.108 is associated with [an EXE sample tagged as OskiStealer at bazaar.abuse.ch](https://bazaar.abuse.ch/sample/c30ce79d7b5b0708dc03f1532fa89afd4efd732531cb557dc31fe63acd5bc1ce/#iocs) However, these transferred files were found to be non-malicious by the popular platform VirusTotal.

## Packet Analysis

Viewing the packet content indicates malicious activity. The analysis returned DLL files from the .jpg URLs. Despite not being inherently malicious, they are considered Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) because they signify a specific type of infection.

There was also a ZIP file transferred. We can extract this ZIP file and edit it in a hex editor, removing the header and footer from the binary to focus on the payload data. This payload may contain valuable information such as sensitive data or communication details. After editing, we save the file and examine the payload. You may find several folders and files with names like "password.txt," "system.txt," "screenshot.jpg," and "cookies," indicating stolen data.

If you need guidance on extracting files, you can refer to this video: [Extracting ZIP files from PCAP with Wireshhark & NetworkMiner](https://bit.ly/3VjN1L4)


you can also view those dll file in the NetworkMiner.
