Hi Class,

Please be sure to check Canvas, specifically the announcements and discussion tabs for weekly announcements in regards to our now online course.

I will be posting weekly announcements in Canvas for the duration of the course.

Groups of 2-3.  Max 4.

Just a heads up that the Lab 2 Quiz in canvas contains the same questions in the Lab, so you can use your lab to answer the questions.  You do not need to submit an additional Lab document for Lab 2.

Some of the Labs allow for groups of 2-3 (Absolute max of 4) such as the Threat Modeling Lab and Physical Security Lab.  Labs that allow for groups will be listed explicitly in the Lab itself.   For these Labs, one submission in canvas with everyone’s name on the assignment is fine.

If groups are not mentioned the Lab, each student must be complete and submit the Lab to canvas on their own behalf.  Students can help each other learn concepts, but can’t answer lab questions with help.  An individual submission with one name is required. Labs 2 and 3 are individual submission labs for example.

I hope this helps to clarify!

Please find the slides that will be used in this class.

As an alternative to using VMWare there is a cloud based option called Azure offered by Microsoft (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/?v=17.14).

Azure is a subscription service that allows you to host your Virtual Machines in the cloud as opposed to locally on your PC, which can alleviate resources constraints, and also allow you to access your VM’s anywhere.  When you sign up you will get a free month and depending on how much you sign up for prices start at $13 a month.

VMWare is offered for free by the MIS Department and can be installed locally on your PC.  As mentioned above VMware puts resource constraints on your PC as your PC will need to run an additional operating system on the PC.

Finally, if you choose to use the lab PCs in class you will need a 32GB flash drive in order to copy your VMs from the lab PC.  Alternatively, your are welcome to use your own PC in class and run Vmware directly on the laptop.  If you have a MAC you will need to install VMware on the MAC and then create a Windows Server virtual machine to work from.

You are welcome to use any method listed above.
