What you'll do
Students will use a couple of the popular Sysinternals Suite tools to observe configuration changes on a known good/clean system.
- The scenario will have them perform a running system snapshot using Regshot, TCPView, ListDLLs, Process Explorer and Process Monitor prior to executing a suspicious program.
- After execution, they will run the same tools, compare the results and note any differences.
- This lab fosters tool familiarization and will provide an "under the hood" perspective of a running Windows environment.
- ⏱ About 60 minutes
Scored lab. A scored lab checks your work and records a score you can see on the lab page.
