Let’s take a look the activity and investigate what happened.

After download the file that is given in case details, we can get nmap ELF file. It’s executable and I thought that I had to find out what happend in background. In Endpoint Security pane, I found the host and checked the network connections. There is an nmap scanning command which is

1
nmap -sC -sP 172.16.20.0/24

After seeing that, my answer to the first question is Other.

The second is that malware quarantined/cleaned?

I invastegated the activity in LogManagement panel and saw that there are several ssh scanning activity that comes from PentestMachine host, so the answer can be not quarantined.

By uploading file to Virustotal, we can check that the file is malicious or not. Virustotal flagged the file as non-malicious.

That’s all.
