Hi everyone.
I've started learning security at HTB academy for a few weeks and currently stuck at window security topic question.
The question is "What non-standard application is running under the current user?" but i don't know what exactly the "non-standard application" means.
I've googled but didn't find any result.
Can you guys explain this concept for me?
Thank you in advance.

In general it means an application that doesn't come with a normal install of windows (IMHO).
For example, notepad is a standard windows application. Notepad++ isn't (although it is very common and probably installed so often you'd consider it standard).
Then if you find IrfanView running, it clearly isn't standard.

Happy to help people but PLEASE explain your problem in as much detail as possible! If you say vague things like "It's not working", I cant help. This isn't Twitter so my DMs are always open.
@TazWake Thank you for your answer. It's very clear explanation.
Thank's for suggestion
I'm stuck, can't find it. I'll have to actually learn shell to get this answer naturally.
With Windows if you run:
Get-Process | select-object Processname, id
orpowershell -c get-process | select-object Processname, id
it will list the processes that is on the machine.Filter through them to see what sticks out

will work too. Depending on what type of shell you have and have access too.There are some pretty decent courses on Udemy that cover windows but if you're just starting out HTB / tryhackme have a lot of very good information to soak up.
When you reach the end of those check out other resources. Books/Udemy blah blah.
Oh... and look up winpeas
