RAT has been setup in one of the machines connected to the network to steal the important Sensitive corporate docs located on Desktop of the server…

In the official EC-Council Certified Cybersecurity Technician (CCT) practical lab environment for Module 01, the exercise involving the "Thief" Remote Access Trojan (RAT) requires students to establish a remote connection to the target server (IP: 20.20.10.26). Upon successfully connecting via the Thief client and navigating to the specified Desktop directory to locate sensitive corporate documents, the directory is provisioned with exactly 3 files. This validates the student's ability to successfully deploy a RAT, navigate a remote file system, and identify exfiltration targets.

A. 2 is incorrect because the specific target directory in this lab environment is provisioned with more than two files.

B. 4 is incorrect as the lab's target folder does not contain four files; it is specifically configured with three.

D. 5 is incorrect because the directory contains exactly three sensitive documents, making five an inaccurate count for this exercise.
