Begin reading the 1.3.1 – Copper Cables.pptx presentation on the Google Classroom. This lesson will introduce you to different types of copper cables and their standard characteristics.
Next, visit the How to Make a Network Cable: link at https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Network-Cable for instructions on how to build a Cat5e cable to the EIA/TIA 568A or 568B spec. Read through the instructions completely before proceeding. Pay particular notice to the difference between a “passthrough” cable and a “crossover” cable.
Visit the rolling cart to pick up your tools and materials. You will need a arm’s length of Cat5e cable, two RJ-45 cable ends, and a crimper tool.
Follow the instructions to build your passthrough patch cable.
Once you have your passthrough cable built, test it using the provided cable tester. If your cable test is successful, you may proceed to build a “crossover” cable for extra credit.
Use clear tape and a marker to label your cables with your name and what type of cable it is (passthrough or crossover), and place it in the wire basket on the front table in the room.
Once they are graded, you are free to take your Cat5e cable home for your own use. Cables left behind will be deployed within the department.

Read and complete the lab activity in the Lab – Keylogger Application.pptx document.
This lab is similar to the Intro to Keyloggers lab we did last week, but it uses a different, non-Java based application to harvest keystrokes.
To do this, you will need to activate a backdoor session. Follow the steps at the end of the Powerpoint document to quickly establish a backdoor session on the vulnerable Windows 7 machine, then proceed with the steps to locate and shut down the active backdoor session using the available tools within Windows.
To confirm completion the lab activity, activate the keylogger, then visit https://netop.mistermarmolejo.com in the Vulnerable Windows 7 environment while the keylogger is active. Upload a screenshot of the Meterpreter session showing the captured keystrokes of your visit to the Netop website to today’s Google Classroom post.
