Interrupt

Sometimes a program will get stuck and you'll want to stop it. Common reasons for this are:

  • You made a typo in the command and it's not doing what you want
  • It's trying to access the internet but you're not connected
  • It's processing too much data and you don't want to wait for it to finish
  • There is a bug in the program causing it to hang

In these cases, you can stop the program by pressing Ctrl+C. This sends a "SIGINT" signal to the program, which tells it to stop.

Assignment

Inside the worldbanc/private/bin/ directory, there is a program called malicious.sh. Sounds scary!

As a good security auditor, and knowing that you are on a secure system with no internet access, you want to see what this program does! Go ahead and run it!

It will run forever if you let it... use Ctrl+C to send a SIGINT signal to the program and stop it.

Paste the last line of its output into the text box and submit your answer.
