In this video, David Bombal and OTW (OccupyTheWeb) walk you through OSQuery - a free, open-source tool that lets you query your operating system like a database. You’ll learn the exact SQL-style commands to find: • Listening processes & remote connections (spot command-and-control) • Suspicious services and misspelled look-alikes • Persistence via registry startup items and scheduled tasks • Fileless malware (on_disk = 0) running only in RAM OTW draws from real digital forensics cases (200+ inquiries/month), including harassment, divorce disputes, and business rivalries. We also explain why antivirus often fails once malware is resident—and what you can do next (kill the process, remove the file, and harden startup entries). // Occupy The Web SOCIAL // X: / three_cube Website: https://hackers-arise.net/ // Occupy The Web Books // Linux Basics for Hackers 2nd Ed US: https://amzn.to/3TscpxY UK: https://amzn.to/45XaF7j Linux Basics for Hackers: US: https://amzn.to/3wqukgC UK: https://amzn.to/43PHFev Getting Started Becoming a Master Hacker US: https://amzn.to/4bmGqX2 UK: https://amzn.to/43JG2iA Network Basics for hackers: US: https://amzn.to/3yeYVyb UK: https://amzn.to/4aInbGK // OTW Discount // Use the code BOMBAL to get a 20% discount off anything from OTW's website: https://hackers-arise.net/ // YouTube video REFERENCE // Have you been hacked?
