Within your course repository, create a directory "final". Commit and push to your remote repository.

cd <path_to_repo>
mkdir final
touch final/screencast_url.txt
git add final
git commit -m "initial commit for final"
git push

Capture-the-Flag challenges and challenge-based labs are how many security practitioners develop their knowledge and skills. For your final project, you will tackle recent challenge levels of your choice on TryHackMe. There are dozens of free challenges to choose from. For the most recent ones, visit this link. The goal of the project is for you to solve challenges and relate their solutions to specific content and concepts you have learned throughout the quarter.

After completing your challenges, you will create a narrated screencast of no longer than 15 minutes that walks through what you have solved. The screencast can either go through the steps manually or show screenshots of each step in the challenges you solve.

To ensure you are the one completing the screencast, your screencast MUST initially include a video of you narrating the walkthrough. It is recommended for you to record your screencast as a recorded screen share on Zoom. Note that, when logged into Zoom, recordings are automatically captured and uploaded to PSU's Media Space and can be accessed after a short time by visiting "My Media" within Media Space.

Alternatively, you may also record your screencast using the software on Media Space (e.g. Kaltura Capture) or from tools such as QuickTime or Open Broadcaster. You will then upload your screencast via PSU's Media Space by visiting the site and clicking on "My Media".

After selecting and uploading the video, you will then bring the video up on Media Space, select the "Publish" tab, click on "Unlisted", and then "Save".

Finally, you will update the file final/screencast_url.txt in your repository to contain the URL that your unlisted screencast on MediaSpace is located. After doing so, commit and push it to your course repository.

We will be using your screencast to evaluate your project.
