Deployed on VMWare successfully. Overall less inituitive than SecurityShepherd, I had to do a lot of supplementary research to understand the modules. However, that process in of itself helped to widen my knowledge. I got up to the Command Execution exercise but plan to work through all of the execrises provided in both labs.
I agree with you the Dojo feels less intuitive than SecurityShepherd and I as well needed to do research on some of the challenges. I prefer how SecurityShepherd has a capture the flag style on their challenges and provides some instructions/description.
I ran the Security Dojo virtual machine on VMware since that is what I’ve been using all semester. I had no issues getting the vm installed, but found the challenges to be more difficult compared to Security Shepherd. I completed 4 of the challenges which took me some time as I needed to do some research.
I ran Security Dojo on Virtualbox and I have completed 3 challenged so far. I found that completing challenges in Security Dojo required more research and took longer than Security Shepherd. The research and review of tutorials to complete the Dojo challenges forced me to understand more about the vulnerabilities and attacks.
I ran security dojo in my VMware environment I’ve been using all semester. As of now I still haven’t finished any challenges as it took me some time to get used to the environment and as others said some additional reading to go along with it. In terms of the installation It was pretty seamless. Professor Bailey informed us it may take some time to download 3.5 gig file but I found that my machine downloaded it in about 20 minutes. Other than that the initial setup was pretty straight forward and I watched a couple of YouTube videos to ensure I did it correctly.
