Windows Checklist:


Things to look out for in/during Comps: Points - Solving Forensics Questions to the best of your ability (Google is your Best Friend!) - Checking Windows for Updates - Removing Unauthorized Users - Changing Insecure Passwords for Users - A Secure Password Length is being required - Sufficient Password History is being kept - Firewall Protection is Enabled - Checking Updates for Firefox - Removing any/all Hacking Tools (i.e. NMAP, Cleaners, etc.) - FTP Disabling - Media File Deleting (i.e. Music, Games, etc.)


Things that you should check but not prioritize first in Comps: Likely No Points - Turning off Network/FileShares - Setting Windows to "Automatic Updates" - Adjusting Firefox's Security Settings (Very Likely to not be counted in later Comps) - Password/Network Policies - Media File Deleting (Will Either be nonexistent or net you few points in later Comps)
