An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is a device used in electrical systems to automatically switch power sources between primary and secondary power supplies in case of a power outage or voltage drop. Its primary function is to ensure uninterrupted power supply to critical equipment or loads by seamlessly transferring power between two sources.

Functionality of ATS:
Dual Power Sources: ATS devices typically connect to two separate power sources, such as the primary utility power and a backup generator or secondary power feed.

Automatic Switching: Monitors the primary power source, and in the event of a power failure or abnormal voltage, the ATS swiftly switches the load to the secondary power source without manual intervention.

#The -ALL option disables all SSL/TLS protocols initially.
#The +TLSv1.2 and +TLSv1.3 options then selectively enable the TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols.

#this configuration directly specifies that Apache should use TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 for secure communications.

This error occurs because the SSH server (your Cisco switch) only supports weak key exchange algorithms, such as diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, which are disabled by default in modern OpenSSH clients for security reasons.
Solution: Enable Legacy Key Exchange Algorithm in SSH

You can override the default SSH settings and explicitly allow diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 by adding the -o KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 option.
🔹 Updated sshpass Command

while read switch; do
    sshpass -p 'yourpassword' ssh -o KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no admin@$switch exit

Determining the precise date and time when ClamAV was installed on an Ubuntu Linux system might require a bit of sleuthing, as Linux doesn't typically log installation timestamps by default. However, you can use system logs and package manager records to get an idea of when ClamAV was installed:

Method 1: Checking Package Installation Logs

Tactics/Techniques
Command and Control consists of techniques that adversaries may use to communicate with systems under their control within a victim network. Adversaries commonly attempt to mimic normal, expected traffic to avoid detection. There are many ways an adversary can establish command and control with various levels of stealth depending on the victim’s network structure and defenses
