What is the first step a cautious hacker must do after gaining administrative privileges?
Planting additional tools
Clear logging files
Eliminating evidence
Disable auditing
The correct response is disabling the auditing files. Once the auditing file is done the hacker will perform the work and when it is complete they will turn on the auditing tool again. EDIT: Poorly written question. A "cautious" hacker is not going to disable auditing as 1. that could set off a notification to a sysadmin and 2. disabling auditing will give an investigator a timestamp for when the attack occurred. | @Ajay agree with the statement made.EDIT: The correct answer is Disable auditing you can find the steps in Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures Module 06 page number 208 Covering Tracks.
