September Lab - Password Cracking

We will be doing some hands on password cracking.

1. You should bring a computer - this is a hands on lab! I have provided software and walk-throughs for Windows, Mac, and Linux machines (Be sure to read the README.md files - they look best via the web).
2. If you can clone a branch of my github repo prior to the event, you will have a huge head start. See instructions under Appendix A. Beware that this branch is being modified frequently and I will send an email to all RSVP'd members when it is ready for prime time.
3. If you cannot clone my github repo prior to the event, don't worry! I will have USB flash drives with all of the information to pass around at the event.
4. If you plan to compete in the competition, please check out the competition folder (https://github.com/JonZeolla/Presentation_Materials/tree/Password-Cracking_2015-09-24/Competition). The password dumps for this will be pushed out live at the beginning of the event.

Feel free to click around on the branch (https://github.com/JonZeolla/Presentation_Materials/tree/Password-Cracking_2015-09-24) and let me know of anything broken. It has undergone a fair amount of remodeling over time and I'm sure there is more than one typo and broken link laying around. Be careful to stay on the branch, as I have not yet merged the branch into master and you will encounter unexpected problems.

Appendix A - How to clone a github branch

1. Install git (instructions (https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)).
2. Run the following command in the directory where you'd like the lab materials (This works on Mac, Windows (via the Git Shell), and Linux):

mkdir SCIS_Password_Lab ; cd SCIS_Password_Lab ; git clone -b Password-Cracking_2015-09-24 --single-branch https://github.com/JonZeolla/Presentation_Materials ; cd Presentation_Materials

3. Profit!
