Combined with yesterday's inexplicable half-day, meant a lot of confused and frustrated students. The labs are a bit broken.Īfternoon descended into farce because GoToMyPC went down and lots of students couldn't get back in. I hosted an exploit, another student executed it. Some team exercises which was a nice change. But, again, no idea if they'll be on the exam.

Lots of memorising of Windows Powershell commands. Most people had a "GoToMyPC" instance they could use - but those of us on Linux machines were basically stuck watching the tutor run some demos. Some of the tasks weren't possible unless you had a Windows machine. Vaguely interesting, but not sure what parts we need to remember for the exam. Run nmap, run enum4linux, run metasploit. Once it was up, we had another "script kiddie" day. The demo Windows network wasn't working, so all a bit theoretical to start. It was mostly a whistle-stop tour of various Linux tools and a brief explanation of Windows security models. So, what can an Ubuntu toting geek learn about the gentle art of cracking Windows wide open? Even at my earliest jobs, I'd find a way to convince the IT department to let me run Linux on their kit.
I've been avoiding M$ WinDoze (LOL!!!) since long before it was fashionable. Oh, and it might just help me remember what I'm learning!ĭay 3 - the day I was dreading most of all… Windows! Hopefully it will let other learners know what the course is like, and if it is worthwhile.
