			==Hash Generation and Comparison==
			Complete these projects inside of one of your VMs:
			# Complete Project 11-2: Installing Command-Line Hash Generators and Comparing Hashes from the book.
			# Complete Project 11-3: Installing GUI Hash Generators and Comparing Hashes from the book.
			==File and Drive Encryption==
			Complete these projects inside of one of your VMs:
			# Complete Project 11-4: Using Microsoft Encrypting File System (EFS) from the book.
			# Complete Project 11-5: Using TrueCrypt from the book.
			In the above project TrueCrypt is used to create an encrypted container file on an existing drive. This container can hold a number of other files but it is important to note that the drive itself is not encrypted. TrueCrypt also supports "Whole Disk Encryption" as do several other programs. This is especially useful for laptop computers. Try downloading the [http://diskcryptor.net/wiki/Main_Page/en DiskCryptor program] install it in one of your VMs and encrypt the entire disk with it.

			==Wireless Network Detection==
			For this lab you will use a wireless access point and laptop, get these from your instructor.
			# Configure the Linksys Wireless Router for wireless networking. Do not attach the router to the campus or any other network, we will be using it as an access point only. At this point you should setup an SSID and wireless channel but leave the access point open.
			# Download and install the [http://www.xirrus.com/Products/Wi-Fi-Inspector.aspx Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector software] and the [http://www.metageek.net/get_inssider_today/ inSSIDer software] on the laptop. You will need to attach the laptop to an Internet connection or use a USB drive to get these programs installed.
			# Check out [http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/wardriving_and_you_an_insider_guide_using_inssider these instructions] for using inSSIDer and read through Project 8-1 and 8-2 in the textbook.
			# Experiment with using both Wi-Fi Inspector and inSSIDer to locate your wireless network. Pay special attention to the types of information you can get from both programs and note any differences and which one you prefer and why.
			# Try enabling WEP and then WPA on your access point. Re-scan for wireless networks with the software and see how they display the different types of secured wireless networks.

			==MAC Address Protection==
			# Continuing with your lab setup from the wireless network detection lab set the access point back to open access. Enable MAC address filtering on the access point. Set the access point to only allow connections from some bogus MAC address.
			# Try connecting to the access point and verify that the laptop is NOT able to connect because it has the incorrect MAC address.
			# Although MAC addresses can be spoofed by simply modifying the registry we can make it even easier with a GUI tool. Download and install the [http://www.gorlani.com/portal/Home/Projects/MacMakeup.aspx MacMakeup] utility.
			# Use the utility to spoof your MAC address to the one you have allowed access for in the router configuration.
			# Verify that you are now able to connect to the access point.
			# Set your MAC address back to the original address.
