<p>Import from cypat.guide: docs/windows/Basics.md</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Submit}}<br /> &lt;!-- Migrated from https://cypat.guide/docs/windows/Basics (source: docs/windows/Basics.md) --&gt;<br /> == First, what is Windows? ==<br /> <br /> Windows is an operating system developed by Microsoft that is the main software allowing you to control and use your computer. An operating system (OS) is essential because it manages the computer’s hardware and software resources, lets you run applications, and provides a way for you to interact with the system through windows, icons, and menus (known as a graphical user interface, or GUI). You are most likely running Windows on your computer right now.<br /> <br /> == Windows vs other operating systems ==<br /> <br /> Windows, unlike other OS&#039;s such as Linux and FreeBSD, is more graphically focused, meaning that the user is able to see what exactly they are doing rather than typing commands in a terminal. However, Windows does have a terminal (Command Prompt(cmd) and Powershell).<br /> <br /> == What to expect ==<br /> <br /> You are mainly going to see and have to configure:<br /> <br /> # Forensics Questions<br /> # Unauthorized Users and Administrators<br /> # Unsecure passwords<br /> # Unsecure group policy settings<br /> # Outdated software<br /> # Malware<br /> # Unnecessary services<br /> # Unauthorized media and apps<br /> # Unsecure apps<br /> # Misconfigured firewall and antivirus settings<br /> <br /> == Familiarity ==<br /> <br /> It is important to get yourself familiar with the operating system. You can do this mainly through:<br /> <br /> # Reading guides/documentation. This should help you get a basic understanding.<br /> # Creating a Windows VM. Try playing around with it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWMiWD-d7mQ Here is a guide on how to create a VM]<br /> # Doing Practice Images. These can realy help with getting familiar with using common apps such as the ones in Microsoft Management Console(MMC).<br /> <br /> == Helpful websites and forums ==<br /> <br /> * https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/<br /> * https://community.spiceworks.com/<br /> * https://www.elevenforum.com/<br /> <br /> [[Category:Windows|000]]<br /> [[Category:Migrated from cypat.guide]]</div>
