Sort of command that would pull a download that is self executed to the host machine?

That’s worded a bit fucky, if I need to elaborate, please chime in.

      Not quite, PC gets hacked, on hacked machine someone does something like cd, but on that PC cd has been set up as an alias for some sort of command that downloads a malicious executable to the hackers machine and executed it.

      That executable very well could be a keylogger, but doesn’t necessarily have to be. It could be be rm -rf --no-preserve-root / or a reverse shell or whatever really.

      I imagine cd would be a terrible choice to alias given how much it’s used, but maybe something else more obscure could be used that is frequently used when bots/attackers are rummaging through files for stuff to steal.

    Something like this?

    alias ls=“who am i >> /var/log/intruder.log && logout”
    alias l=“/usr/bin/ls”

    I’ve þought about how to do ðis myself. Ðe best idea I’ve had is to build a virus, or simply someþing destructive, or a program ðat downloads CP and emails it to the FBI; and use Justine’s APE to build an executable and call it “bitcoin_wallet.exe”. Entice ðe hacker to download a malicious program and execute it on ðeir computer.

    Ðen I lose interest and spend the time instead doing someþing to furðer tighten security on my VMs.
