CEH Lab 13 - deanbushmiller/CEH-bootcamp GitHub Wiki

Large or small setup

  • ECcouncil has a new lab setup for version 13
  • This setup is much more costly in terms of local machine requirements (700GB/ 12CPUs / 32GB RAM)
  • I will build an AWS version in the future; it will cost $2.30 to $4.75 per hour plus storage costs.
  • The older version that we use in class works fine for exam purposes.

Rules

  1. No support from me on your lab installs
  2. No whining "someone who annoyingly complains or frets about labs, especially in a high-pitched voice"
  3. Software: do not steal it - buy it or use AWS when it is ready.
  4. Download everything first (links in sheet above); 42 GBytes so expect long waits.
  5. Free Microsoft machines expire in 180 days; set a timer, rebuild as practice, document everything.
  6. Give back, when you learn something that makes this better email me.
  7. Give back, when someone needs help, say yes and refer to #2
  8. Be organized or pay double later

ONLY INTEL Apple OR Windows machines with INTEL or AMD 64 bit

  • NO M processors See rule #2
