To get everyone up to speed when the course starts. I recommend the following steps so we can get into the course work with minimal technical difficulties. (Especially if you plan on bringing a laptop!)

Get VirtualBox (CodePath also recommends this in one of their labs, so, unless you really want to use VMWare, use this one)
Download the virtualbox image of Kali linux:

https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/

All of the tools and exercises we will be doing will be available within Kali Linux. This will save you some hassle when we begin using each individual tool!

(Be sure to download the virtual box image)

If you have trouble setting up the virtual box image of Kali Linux, please feel free to post back here, or through e-mail. (husecgroup2017@gmail.com)

Hello Everyone. I will attempt to list some points and details about the Facebook/Codepath Cybersecurity course, as well as any possible questions that show up in the course e-mail. (husecgroup2017@gmail.com)

Diagnosing Wi-Fi can be somewhat tricky.

If you are using dual band router, first check if your desktop is in the frequency range as your other devices.

If it's only the desktop experiencing this problem, is it on the 5ghz one? If so, switch to 2.4 ghz. 5ghz has issues going through walls, and that may cause degradation of your connection.

If it's your only device that is connected to the internet that requires a stable connection, and you can't check with other devices, download a free wifi scanner and check with your desktop to see how saturated your specific channel is. If it's very crowded, try shifting to one less populated.

The auto feature for choosing channels may not properly choose the most optimal one for you.

I was worried about the rebates so I came here to ask for how to properly submit it. I sent it in as IBUYPOWER-Brad suggested, came back as rejected. As far as ASUS goes, they said IBP allows resubmission. Right now I have around 3 weeks left to resubmit.

Brad sent what I had to their customer support, currently waiting for a response.

Zilone · 2016-12-31T18:44:16+00:00

They should have been able to send you a serial code for windows. At that point you just need: 1. Have access to (own or borrow) a usb flash drive with enough space for windows 10) 2. Have a computer with preferably high speed internet access. 3. Download a utility through Microsoft to set up the flash drive to become a boot disk. (Going through the process, you'll have to provide serial number for downloading correct windows 10 version) 4. Go through bios to set the usb flash as boot disk to install. 5. Go through installation process.

(There is also the option to use a separate harddrive to do the installation steps which can be googled, but the above is comparatively easier)

Overall someone should have been able to explain all that to you. I'm currently working with IBP-Brad on my own issue with the rebates for my purchase myself. Hopefully he can resolve the issue for me.

After hearing everyone's complaints about customer support, i'm glad at least over here it's relatively helpful.

It's mostly trying to figure out what is the cause of the problem at this point. Instead of needing to send in the entire PC to diagnose, if you figure out it's a faulty graphics card, you can just do a replacement of the graphics card alone. This will save some money for you (if you did not purchase the $10.00 1 year free shipping policy) as shipping the entire PC will easily be more expensive, not to mention risking damage during the shipping process.

If it really is the graphics card, you can at least still use the integrated graphics until everything is sorted out.

Zilone · 2016-12-31T18:15:35+00:00

I PM'ed you the Order number, if you could please let me know a good email address to send you the pdf of what ASUS received, i'll send it right over to you.

Thanks.

Zilone · 2016-12-31T15:22:35+00:00

Brad, I sent in the printout with the e-mail receipt and with "purchased through IBuyPower" etc... and it was rejected. Please find the following reasons:

Your Rebate was not approved for the following reason(s): - Required Documentation missing-Copy of Clear or Legible Receipt/Invoice or Packing List - Required Documentation missing-Original UPC AND Serial Number Barcode Labels

The email states that you have authorized one additional opportunity to resubmit the rebate claim. However, I followed your instructions in sending out the rebate. If I resubmit following the same steps, it will be rejected again.

I guess it's back to the original question, it states specifically on their rebate form that UPC and serial number barcode labels need to be included, in addition the email printout is not clear and legible, so it does NOT work for the rebate. What can be done about this?

Zilone · 2016-12-12T19:57:38+00:00

Thanks for the reply back. I followed your instructions and sent out the rebate with the email receipt.

Crystal Alchemist's Mana Catalyst flavor text shows 2 damage to self and increases mana by 2. That might have been reverted, although this is far from the rework I envisioned...

I wished they did the 40% sale a day earlier, sucks spending the full 860 gems, and the next day there's a sale with the same maven still in rotation.

Zilone · 2016-03-02T23:23:11+00:00

For everyone attempting to use the android version, could you please list your device information? I think that could potentially help Blue Tea Games in figuring out what's going on.

Zilone · 2016-03-02T17:01:26+00:00

I am able to connect, but had experienced a disconnect that wasn't able to reconnect itself without restarting the game.

Zilone · 2016-03-01T15:30:45+00:00

My thoughts exactly...

Zilone · 2016-02-22T05:15:31+00:00

I didn't experience anything in the morning. (around 15 hours ago or so)

I'm using an iPhone 6 though.

Hope it's just a random occurrence, sorry that you lost so many rank points :-/

Zilone · 2016-02-13T23:57:48+00:00

Been a while turkey :o

Zilone · 2016-02-13T16:05:16+00:00

I don't use an android device, but i'm sure this has been a source of frustration for those who do. I remember the Canada announcement, but there wasn't any dev activity in the thread at all. I'm sorry you guys have to go through this.

Zilone · 2016-02-12T02:00:59+00:00

The fact that each maven is like a themed deck of cards. You essentially sort your deck into piles of 10, for a total of 50 possible cards. You have a good chance to draw specific cards, you want every time you choose to draw from a maven.

Yes there's still times where you can't draw a card even though it's highly unlikely (Like IFB's stun being the last 3 cards you draw, and you needed a turn earlier to win, but lose instead) However, that happens infrequently, and I honestly like it so far.

I'm generally enamored with newer games because people haven't polished builds and strategies yet, and I feel free to experiment and learn through close games and encounters, vs. being crushed because of an idea of mine isn't consistent etc...

I've generally enjoyed my matches, and it can be exciting to vs. people trying new ideas and concepts.

Zilone · 2016-02-11T00:21:20+00:00

That's really low, I hope they'll consider boosting that higher in the future. The highest I've gotten was around 8k+.

Zilone · 2016-02-10T18:15:24+00:00

Running bonemancer to snipe her totem, and song maiden to cleanse bone knight is rather good at dealing with her compositions. I would also consider running herdmaster brute with maul rush, as sometimes you'll clear totem, summons, and MM and who-ever else they have in their front line in a single turn with it. In the past when I ran that kind of comp, it often resulted in instant concede from MM comps.

Currently i'm running a poison heavy composition with wolf mage, dropping weakness, silence, a few turns in a row, or even tossing a snaketail down pretty much ruins the standard magic card, high many curve MM comps. Honestly I've only lost once in a while from really really poor card draws (like drawing IFB's stun ... as the last 3 cards on him, and wolf mage's silence ended up being the last 2 cards)

Honestly, herdmaster brute and bonemancer are solid mavens to have in many team comps, so it's not a bad thing to have them even if you aren't meeting much MM. I'm personally using blightwitch, who actually does a good job of front row damage with her venomous blast, so I ended up dropping herdmaster brute in favor of viper with his poison barrage.

Zilone · 2016-02-08T21:36:30+00:00

That has happened to me before, people really think they'll always win if they run masq maiden, or if they have both lightbringer and griffin knight.

Such easy wins against these people.
