@Kee-Hock-Lim Not sure what the issue is but I had no issue downloading the files. I'm emailing the zip file to you directly. Thanks!

Hey @Kee-Hock-Lim

I wouldn't be surprised if your AV/Antimalware is flagging some of the scripts or script examples in the show notes because some of those scripts are used to do 'malicious' things like gain unauthorized access to systems.

A good way to get around those kind of problems is by using virtualization to create virtual machines (running Kali Linux and the other OSs like Windows,Ubuntu,etc with no AV and Defender disabled). That way you're in a sandboxed environment which you can test and experiment and then you can use snapshots to revert machines if anything goes wrong.

Hope that helps

Daniel
