You are the newest System Administrator to join the team at GemForge. Shortly after starting, you are informed that an unidentified Linux server has been discovered within the environment. No documentation exists for the system, its purpose is unknown, and there is concern that it may be hosting critical services without the organisation's knowledge.
The operations team has provided you with access to a web-based TTY connected directly to the machine and has asked you to perform an initial investigation. Your task is to identify the operating system, determine the server's role, assess its current state, discover any running services or applications, and highlight any potential security concerns. Once your investigation is complete, you are expected to provide a detailed report of your findings, supporting evidence, and recommendations for any actions that should be taken.
