Hold up, is this a trick question? I bet the attacker's gonna try to cover their tracks first with some log scrubbing. Sneaky buggers!

Reconnaissance, definitely. Gather that intel and plan the next move. This hacking stuff is like a chess game, you know?

Yep, once they have the lay of the land, they can figure out how to escalate privileges and really cause some damage.

Escalating privileges could also be a possible action for the attacker to gain more control over the compromised machine.

Port scanning, for sure. Gotta map out that network and find the juicy targets.

After port scanning, the attacker might escalate privileges to gain more control over the system.

Port scanning is definitely the first step to take. We need to find the vulnerabilities in the network.

Hmm, I'd say the attacker would most likely try to escalate their privileges. Gotta get that admin access, you know?

Once they have admin access, they could start log scrubbing to cover their tracks.

I agree with Aleshia, port scanning would help the attacker identify other vulnerable systems on the network.
