SANS ICS410 Student Instructions

By Justin Searle (justin@controlthings.io)

This course uses the following virtual machines:

● Windows 10 x64 SANS {version}.ova


● ControlThings Platform {version}.ova

If you have not already done so, please download (or copy if you were given a USB
drive) these two files and all other course media files to your laptop's hard drive. If you
have disk space, leave the OVA files in case you need to re-extract the VMs again.

You'll need VMware Workstation Player 15 (or later), VMWare Workstation Pro 15 (or
later) or VMware Fusion 11 (or later), which was in the laptop requirements for this
course should already be installed on your laptop. If you do not have one of these
installed, please download one of them from http://www.vmware.com. VMware
Workstation Player (for Windows) is a free download and is the recommended
download if you don’t have a purchased license for Workstation or Fusion. For VMware
Workstation Pro (for Windows) and VMware Fusion (for Mac), a 30-day evaluation
license is available for free at their website once you register and get a demo license
key. Use of other virtualization software like VirtualBox might be possible, but the
instructor will not be able to help support this configuration.

To open each virtual machine, start your VMware software and on Windows go to File ->
Open, and on Mac Fusion go to File -> Import. Select the VMware OVA file you copied
to your laptop hard drive. You will need to do this twice, once for each virtual machine.
Start with the Windows-10 virtual machine since we will be using that one first. Part of
the import process will ask you how much RAM to give to the VM. You will need to give
each VM at least 2GB of RAM. This should add it to the list of virtual machines you can
start. Start each virtual machine, one at a time, to make sure they are both functional.
At no point in this class will you need to run both VMs at the same time, so this should
minimize resources on your laptop. If you see an error message on Windows
concerning Device/Credential Guard not being compatible with VMware, please look for
additional instructions at the bottom of this document.

The usernames and passwords for each virtual machine are as follows:

Windows10 Login = student Password = student


ControlThingsPlatform Login = control Password = things

The exercise workbook that we will be using in the class is already installed in both
virtual machines in a web-based format. You can access this digital workbook on both
VMs by running ics410-workbook from Window's main menu's search bar, or from
ControlThings Platform's Activities search bar.

On the ControlThings virtual machine, you may occasionally need to run a command as
root. To run commands as root, use the sudo command. For example:

sudo halt (this shuts down Linux)


sudo reboot (this reboots Linux)
sudo ‐s (login as root)

If prompted for a password, please use the password listed above for whichever VM
you are using.

Workarounds some of you may need:

If VMware tells you that Device/Credential Guard is not compatible with VMware
and must be disabled:

1) Right click on the windows logo, and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" from the
popup menu

2) Change directories to the Device Guard Readiness Tool folder you copied from the
course media files and run the following commands:

Set‐ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted (confirm if prompted)


DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.6.ps1 ‐Disable (confirm if prompted)

3) Reboot, and if you see a Windows boot screen asking about disabling Device Guard,
press F3 to disable. If second boot prompt appears about disabling Hyper-V, press F3
to disable
