I'm a little behind on these so I have to catch up before next class!!! Two classes ago I learned about Malware and the different names/forms it comes in. There were viruses, worms backdoors and rootkit. I found this information really useful because it helps to know what type of virus you are dealing with to help get ride of it. We then continued on to learn a little about some big viruses history. There was the Virus coined which would infect other programs, and there was even the ILOVEYOU Worm that casued a lot of damage. We then went to learn about Honeypots and how they collect malware, and that the two main types are low interaction and high interaction. After class I got to go on to my vm workstation and install nepenthes and play around with it. We also went and installed wireshark on another vm and I know more about this program so I had a way better idea of what I was looking at and doing with it.
