Good Luck tomorrow on the exam!!

Is the time-slot for the lab exercises that thight that there is no time left for a interim update, as promised!

When do we may expect the next update, or is the walkthrough come to an end?

I liked the feedback very much!!

Maybe it is a good idea to post the review also on this forum as reference for futher candidates of the PWB.

I found it a very constructive article!

Many thanks!!

Congratulations Kennut!

And thanks for your feedback. It will certainly be helpful for future candidates.

If you want the details, just use "the way back machine" and compare the exam objectives.

Normally an with steganography adapted file / picture is only dectected by the tool which was used for the stego in the first place.

There are some tools who are able to detect files adapted with other stego-tools. You can try stegdectect ( http://www.outguess.org/detection.php ). It is free.

Also the professional forensics tools like FTK and Encase are capable of detecting steganography. But they are not free of charge!! ha ha

An other alternative is to get yourself a free HEX-editor, load the adapted file (in this case you have to know in front that the file is adapted) and look based on searching for the fileheaders in the file!!

Good luck!

For the firewall you can think of IPtables (Linux). It's free and software based

The answer of SIL is very informative!!

Welcome to the forum!

Sounds interesting!

Best to provide it to some people in a Beta-version and let them test the technical and functional merits of the tool!!

Chapeau Ignatius,

Now I can be sure that my calculations were right.

The fault is within the question and it came from an official and recommended instance!!

Great you solve the "bug" completely!!

Thanks!!

Now doubt any more over here concerning converting IP adresses!!

Awesome Jordy
that you're sharing your experiences with us as a guide through the PWB journey.  This way we can experience all what the course contains and value it for each of us for themselves based on your experiences.

thanks for sharing!!! 
I'm also very curious to the course, but first my CEH exam.

With the help of Data_Raid and the advice from Awesec to google, it seems that I got the method to convert. But my outcome is not what I expect. I do not seem to discover where I got wrong. It's for sure in the stage of converting  decimal to hex!

So I will detail my outcome, maybe someone can review it and point me to my mistake:

decimal 340590649

340590649/16      21.286.915  rest  9 this is in hex    9
21286915/16        1.330.432   rest   3             hex    3
1330432/16          83.152        rest   0             hex   0
83152/16              5.197         rest   0            hex    0
5197/16                324           rest    13          hex    D
324/16                  20             rest   4            hex    4
20/16                    1              rest    4            hex    4
1/16                      0              rest    1            hex    1


so in hex this gives:   144D0039


but the correct answer is:  CB020405


Pls can someone review this and give me feedback!

Thanks Data_Raid for your constructive reply.

But as this is a valid question from the exam, they're expecting that we know all the Hex-notations by head? Can't be true!

Isn't there another method?

Next week I will sit for my CEH examen. I'm still struggling with converting IP adresses from decimal to normal expression of the IP-adress, for instance

the decimal IP = 340590649

converted to normal expression should give: 203.2.4.5

How is this been calculated with a normal calculator?
What's the scientific method for converting?

Thanks for feedback,
