Task desc

In this task, we need to analyze a .pcap file and extract information about the .iso file that was downloaded via torrent.


NOTE

BitTorrent terms

Leecher - someone who downloads a file

Seed - someone who has already downloaded it and has not deleted it from their downloads, and therefore SHARES it (has downloaded 100% of the file and continues to download subsequent files in swarm)

Peer - someone who is in a swarm of users and uploads and downloads

TIP

If you’re intersted in Torrents theory, I wrote this guide to this topic.

Enable protocols, BT-DHT, BitTorrent, uTP, DHT, so that Wireshark can recognize and parse them correctly.

Next, enter bt-dht in the Current filter field. We receive many packages with the same hash repeated: e2467cbf021192c241367b892230dc1e05c0580e

Search by hash on VirusTotal:

The flag must end with .iso:
