Ans: Yay, 11/Apr/2021:09:16:31 +0000

3. What user information was the attacker able to retrieve from the endpoint vulnerable to SQL injection?

The files are coupons_2013.md.bak and www-data.bak

Ans: coupons_2013.md.bak,www-data.bak

5. What service and account name were used to retrieve files from the previous question? (service, username)
