Oh and Sil: you really, really should write that book indeed :p (or a couple of them)

Nah... I wouldn't know where to begin. My posts at times come across the wrong way to so many people, I think anyone who would buy the book would only do so to throw it at me.

Drunken employee pops cap in server
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/26/server_shooting/

An employee of a Salt Lake City mortgage company allegedly got drunk and popped a cap in the firm's $100k server, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. ... Joshua Lee Campbell, 23, had apparently been enjoying a few liveners ... later nipped back to work to shoot the server with a .45-calibre automatic. ... he claimed he'd been "mugged, assaulted with his own firearm and drugged" by a "mystery assailant" who'd then carried out the execution at RANLife Home Loans.

@j0rDy: Nice to see I am not alone in my "knowledge area".

@Anquilas: I really feel like theres is 20 people in my leaving room, waiting to see if I will pass. Very motivating...

Just to follow up, I have practiced nmap yesterday in the lab.

I compared my "old ways" of running scans with your "proposed ways". I indeed saw a nice difference. It seems I am learning at a crazy rate right now!!! Grin

I hacked another machine in the lab yesterday and it felt good: I felt "organized" and not like "a hen without head" (translated a French expression). I will continue tonight! I want to go through as many machines as possible before my retake.

@Anquilas - That's what EH-Net is for - encouragement, tutoring, or simply general explanation... doesn't really matter, as long as others benefit and grow.

Perfectly said, and the exact reason why this place is so great. You guys are contributing in a fantastic way, and I'm sure to pay it back in kind when I'm further down the path.

Of course you are most entitled to your opinion Wink

Still, if you ever feel like putting all that knowledge in a book, you can be certain that everyone here will be dying to get a copy.
But by all means, keep writing like you do now, it's incredibly educational for many of us.

Ok, here's an update.

I am taking the test again in 2 days (starting Friday). So I will be posting my results on this forum sometime this weekend. Stay tune!

I just wanted to say that, after reading all the good comments/suggestions you have wrote on this thread, I feel much more confident now. As I said a few times already, I feel like I finally got it. I wasn't ready the first time around. I was missing a few key things...

Before my first attempt, I felt like a boxer with 19 victories and no defeat going in the ring against another boxer having 17 victories and no defeat. You haven't lost yet, but neither is your opponent! So I didn't have a big confidence in my abilities. It was more of a 50/50 chance for me...

But since then, mainly because of your very good advice, I feel a lot more confident! The main reason for this is:

I have compromized many more machines in the last 2 weeks and more importantly, I am much faster doing so!
I know more about privilege escalation (thanks again to you guys!!!!)
I know now that the exam is representative of the lab. It is like having another 5 lab machines to hack
I was able to work on my other weaknesses

So I am a lot more relax this time around. Regardless if I pass or fail, I feel like I can finally "put it all together" now.

So a thousand thanks to you guys!!!

I have been quite busy at work recently and I was forced to postpone the exam test. I have work about 70 hours a week for the last three week!!!

One of my client got very late in providing me requirements, and since I had already signed another contrat with another company, I am stuck working on two contract at once... I should be over with the first contract next week... Undecided

The new test date will be November 11 (Rememberance day in Canada). That will give me enough time to study and get ready. At least, I know what to work on!

Thanks to all my "fans"!!! Grin
