GCIH Exam - Question 97


What happened in the following screenshot?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

The btmp logs are not stored in ASCII. The screenshot displays the raw, unreadable output of the btmp file, which is used to record failed login attempts and is stored in a binary format. When the command 'sudo cat /var/log/btmp' is executed, the binary data is displayed, resulting in the unreadable characters seen in the screenshot. This indicates that the file is not meant to be read directly in its raw form.
