Day 1 - Training
Today was every so slightly frustrating. While the training was good, the VMs for the class were created on windows. Not only that, but somehow the paths were hard coded, so one of the VMs was referencing C:\blahblah and would not open. After about an hour of hacking away, I could not get it to run. This ticks me off, because VMs should be agnostic, which is the whole point, so you can only take the error so many times on linux before you want to throw a brick at the windows users in the room.
It is very apparent that my skills in security have greatly increased over the past year, mainly due to running Linux full time, and having to concentrate on server side operations. I like being in the top 25% of the class as far as understanding the content.
A couple notes. I need to keep up my documentation for open ports on servers. Documentation seems to be where I need to focus, even though I have been over the past year, I need to step it up.
owasp.org for web vulnerabilities, a nice little site I need to investigate more.
More to come…
