Lab Setup
In designing this course, I tried to keep the amount of equipment neccessary to run it to a minimum. There is no expensive networking equipment to purchase and no lab environment outside of the student's own laptop. I give out a VMware image based on the FDCC Windows XP SP3 configuration that has been customized with the following tools:
- IE6 (DEP off), IE7, and IE8 installed via Utilu
- IDA Free, Immunity Debugger, WinDBG, and !exploitable
- Sublime Text 2, TCPView, Process Explorer, and the HxD Hex Editor
- Nmap, mostly for its ncat utility
