If you have already identified an interesting process you might want to read its man page, you could find something useful in there
I’ve already walked 10 miles since this comment but I’m stuck in a new place. After a ridiculous problem, i realized that what I was doing was completely in folly. I extracted contents from said zip file, realized that it was a ********, also realized that the remote host is hosting a process that confirms my suspicion. Now im playing with command line options because while im not returning a login error, im not necessarily returning a login success either.
