Congratulations! Awesome prize. Please try and provide a detailed review preferably with pics.

The site is back up, they have added Arizona Law Enforcement info: http://lulzsecurity.com/releases/chinga_la_migra_1.txt

Amazed at those passwords!

Maybe not j0rdy:

Twitter update: LulzSec The Lulz Boat
Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it's all over now... wait... we're all still here! Which poor b*stard did they take down?

This should be of interest if the DC is Win2k8: http://www.room362.com/blog/2011/5/15/dumping-hashes-on-win2k8-r2-x64-with-metasploit.html
and check out smart_hashdump: http://www.darkoperator.com/blog/2011/5/19/metasploit-post-module-smart_hashdump.html

In before the lock ... or delete 

That password is a SHA-512 hash, starts with $6$ (86 characters)
Extra info: SHA-256 hashes start with $5$ (43 Characters)
MD5 hashes start with $1$ (22 characters)
Blowfish hashes start with $2$ or $2a$ (depending on the variant used)

I'll work on the password hash and let you know if I crack it 

I wish it was that easy to exploit a machine with just the MAC address 

The MAC address simply lists the physical address burnt into the network card/device when the device is manufactured. The MAC address should be unique and usually a manufacturer will have a MAC address prefix assigned to that company, for example Cisco is assigned: FC-FB-FB (hex) Cisco Systems. MAC addresses can be changed/spoofed though. The MAC address list is available from: http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/oui.txt

MAC addresses are used on the local LAN to locate the machine you would like to communicate with, in order for your computer to communicate with an IP Address of say 192.168.1.2, your computer which has an IP Address of 192.168.1.1 will perform an ARP request for the machine. Your computer will ARP broadcast (255.255.255.255) on the local LAN "Who has 192.168.1.2 tell 192.168.1.1"
All devices on the same network will receive the broadcast and the device that knows where 192.168.1.2 is located will reply: "192.168.1.2 is at 00:11:11:22:3d:11". Now that your computer knows where the device is located (the physical MAC Address) it will start communicating with that device.

If you want to communicate with another device that is not on your local LAN then your computer will still perform an ARP request (broadcast locally). The router on the local network will respond to the ARP request with the router's MAC address if the router has a route to the remote host, the router will respond with its own MAC address. Open up a command prompt or terminal and check the ARP entries that your computer knows about, type "arp -a". You should see your default router's IP Address and associated MAC address. Now that you know what the MAC address and IP Address is you still need to investigate how you can connect to that machine. NMAP is handy for this. You need to know what ports are open and what services are running in order to connect/access another computer the Operating System is also handy.

I'd ask your teacher to explain in detail how someone can get free access to your computer. Was there any mention of WiFi and MAC address restrictions?
 

Congrats MaXe!
You'll be impressed with the certificate when it arrives

I have watched that video before and I think it's interesting, and Dino does a good job of explaining exploits, NOPs, EIP, EAX etc..
Is it relative to OSCP? Sure! Is the thread in the right forum? Maybe

This is what I did on my system (might be worth taking a snapshot before):
and then edit the /etc/rc.local file to start gdm automatically, which looks like this:

01010010 01100101 01100001 01101100 00100000 01101000 01100001 01100011 01101011 01100101 01110010 01110011 00100000 01110100 01111001 01110000 01100101 00100000 01101001 01101110 00100000 01100010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 00100001 00100000 00111010 00101101 00101001

That's the "Run Command" applet in KDE. For KDE, If you right click on the panel and then select "add applet to panel" and then search by scrolling down to the "run command" applet, then select "add to panel".
For Gnome it's almost the same, right click on the panel and then select "add to panel" and then select "run application", it's not exactly the same as KDE (with a text box) but provides the same finctionality.

The OSCP is definitely more challenging than GPEN, no multiple choice, open book with the OSCP, just 24 hours of adrenalin, fun, pain and suffering 

You definitely have a chance of successfully passing the OSCP with no prior programming skills. The PWB manual and videos are pretty good and start off at a basic level and are explained well so the content is easy to understand. You won't get spoonfed with the PWB course, but you get shown enough to get you started, additional research on your own will be very useful. Metasploit Unleashed http://tinyurl.com/243fzuh is definitely useful and recommended for the PWB course. Linux experience is also very useful as well as a knowledge of writing Bash scripts, the following sites are pretty good:
http://bashscripts.org/forum/ and http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/

I would recommend 60 days lab access, I found that 30 days goes by so quickly and there are plenty of hosts to exploit in the labs. 

Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me/us know.

Not a template but more of a report guideline with samples:
