REMNux, an awesome Unix distribution built by Lenny Zeltser for reverse engineering malware. It is build for out of the box reversing.
The documentation is almost complete, but one point I was missing while using it is quite important: correct time settings!
In order to check certain logs, contain evidence etc you want to have an accurate time setting on the system.
First: set the right timezone:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
The first shot then would be NTP by:
sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com #or your prefered NTP server (maybe in your lab envirenment)
Because of the content running in the system, you might want to limit network access so NTP might not be available.
To set the date manually use:
sudo date $newdatetimestring
Format:
nnddhhmmyyyy.ss
To print this string on another unix system use the following command:
date "+%m%d%I%M%Y.%S"
040211422014.48
Copy this string and modify it according to the difference between copy paste process.
Check your correct date settings with:
date
Now happy reversing
Reference: Install REMNUX as virtual instance
Thanks! Worked for me!
