Hi, I'm currently stumped on this lab in particular on the last question: https://us.immersivelabs.com/v2/labs/elf-execution-structure/series/computer-architecture It's asking for the "entry point", which I had assumed based on the image output was 0x4048c5 (it explicitly even says this in the image near the top!), but that's incorrect, as well as answers regarding the PhysAddr addresses. It had gotten to the point where I'm so stumped I tried putting in every other answer I could think of, like the type of program header or some of the names in the segment sections to no avail. The question itself is very vague (what else could be the 'entrypoint'?) and I've been stuck on this for quite some time. I'd appreciate any hints to point me in the right direction, because I don't know what else to put in for an answer now!Solved64Views1like2CommentsCSM Tip: Have A Summer Series! Are YOU Taking Advantage Of Summer?
Being the comedian I am, I was going to title this tip “Have Your Own Personal Summer series” but I didn’t want the core message of this idea to get lost in my wacky humor. Working with customers over the years across the globe, I’ve seen a trend. What is that trend? People on the team take their annual holidays to enjoy the weather, spend time with their families when the kids are out of school, spend more time in the fresh air away from screens, etc. Thus, structured programs and large projects wane a little bit as opposed to the fervor that resumes as autumn hits. One of the ways customers overcome this and stick to their personal growth and development plans as well as the broad organizational/department plans is to host “Summer Series”. What is that you say? Well, it is sometimes a large group activity or challenge over the summer (have you checked out the challenge labs in the Exercise section of Immersive?) Or, it’s a weekly/biweekly/monthly “workshop” drop in session that team members can attend (when they are not on their well-earned annual holidays) to learn more on a topic (come on, I KNOW you want to learn more about cutting edge topics like secure coding in the age of integrated LLM in your apps and systems). So, be the voice on your team to suggest this or, like my wacky idea for a tip topic suggests, implement your own Personal Summer series. You will be glad you did.38Views2likes0Commentskali linux: killall xfce4-panel
Hi @ all Maybe I am the only one that opens a root terminal on kali linux, pastes "killall xfce4-panel" to get rid of the menu bar at the bottom of the screen. For me it's a waste of screen space, esp. when running in a window. And if you ever wondered how to get rid of it, now you know. How do you deal with it? nc51Views1like1CommentCSM Tip: Immerse Yourself In our Multi-Language Experience!
Did you know you can easily change your Immersive platform experience to a variety of supported languages? We are a global family and many of you are multi-lingual and/or have a primary language preference other than English. This fantastic capability has been available for a while, but I still talk with global teams from time to time that are unaware of this great feature. Simply head up to the top right of the platform and select from the dropdown globe symbol. Have you used this feature? Do you know some peers that may benefit from knowing about this and trying it in another language of their choice?18Views0likes0CommentsIntroduction to Active Directory Attacks: Local Passwords
