[2025-09-01 :: Lab Note - VM troubleshooting & stability]

---

Security+ Review

• Continued review questions, pace steady to focus on comprehension.
• Reinforced differences between MAC vs DAC access controls.

Lab Work

• Hydra troubleshooting on VM (connection was unstable).
• Tested reducing parallel threads to improve reliability.
• Compared VM vs AttackBox performance for brute-force attempts.

Reflections

• Recognized that troubleshooting the VM is part of the skillset.
• AttackBox proved more stable, letting me focus on the actual Hydra workflow.
