2.1 Think Seriously

  1. No one can become a security expert without excellent command over OS internals.
  2. Command over the C language is essential for security work.
  3. Could this course have been taught using Windows instead of Linux?

2.2 Journals

  1. Count the number of hours spent in learning the background material for a lab? E.g., understanding the options of various commands?

2.3 Background/ Refreshers

  1. What good is googling for answers without an understanding of why they are valid or might actually be wrong?
  2. Even now, all of ../../Lectures/Refreshers/ is highly recommended.
