This post is just for the folks out in San Diego taking my SANS 502 Perimeter course. I just created a new DVD for the class, and inadvertently missed a file. Here is the VMware loader file I promised as well as instructions for use:

1. You need a copy of VMware Player
2. Grab 502-vmware-loader.zip and unzip it into an empty directory on your system
3. Copy 502-course-dvd.iso (1.2 GB) from the course DVD into this directory as well
4. Double click 502-vmware-loader.vmx

Note that you are welcome to run a VMware version of the course DVD in the labs, with the following exceptions:

• VMware is known to change IP ID increments, so you should not use it during the idle scan lab
• VMware does not provide a true Ethernet bus, so you should not use it during any lab that involves session hijacking
