I have a problem with the Cisco Endpoint Security course. In the ā4.2.8. Lab ā Attacking a MySQL Databaseā I need to open pcap file via WireShark by browse /home/analyst/ directory and search for lab.support.files. Before that I got VM āCybersecurity_Lab_VM_Worksation_20230210ā, but I canĀ“t see any files or directories in /home/analyst/. When I navigate there via āOpenā menu of WireShark - /home/analyst/ is empty.
Via terminal I canĀ“t check /home/analyst/ content as I donĀ“t have the right to navigate to this folder as user āciscoā and I canĀ“t change a folder owner as I donĀ“t know the superuser password.
What am I doing wrong and where can I get this pcap file for the lab?

it worked, I used this command: sudo chown -R cisco /home/analyst and the password for user cisco is password

Changed directory owner to "cisco" user via sudo command and then all work fine.
So, attached VM doesn't match the lab description.

changing the directory owner requires a password so it doenst work for me

That is right - if you use "sudo" command then you will be asked for a password, but this is a current user password (the user you are logged in), so in a case with this VM for user "cisco" it will be the password "password".

the other solution would be to just use the analyst account when you open the virtual machine
