Thank you for this awesome write-up!

I got access to the on demand course today. How long did it take SANS to send your books?

I have talked about the importance of having a basic knowledge of networking on my livestreams and previous blog articles. However, I do not have a dedicated article on it.
I recommend taking the CompTIA Network+ course and certification exam to get the foundational knowledge needed. You can check out my recommendations page to get the Network+ book.

I really appreciate how you made it simple with those tips and stayed positive and motivational!

Thanks for your response and your help.

After further investigation (VBox/Microsoft forums) I just may have found the issue. It seems like the VPN client software that I use is conflicting with Virtualbox in some way. I have turned off the VPN client software and haven’t had any BSOD’s (BSOD’s were happening on the host machine, not the VM instances) after 5-6 sleep/wake cycles. Fingers crossed… I let you know.
