So today in class we started off with a practice exam which I was not ready for at all, I did manage to do better than I expected but I'll definitely have to study before the real exam. After the exam we took notes on Securing Computers and talked about polices and securing your computer. These are some policies that I found that would be useful to implement.

1. Maximum password age.
2. Minimum password age.
3. Minimum password length
4. Password must keep complexity requirements
5. Store passwords using reversible encryption

They are pretty self explanatory and I'm sure know why you would want to think about enabling them. After notes we spent the remaining time of class playing around with our compaqs where we had to lock them to stop unwanted users accessing them. Curtis and I found out a neat little trick on how to disable the BIOS password which is extremely good to know :)

Thanks for taking the time to read this~
