Hi guys and gals this is m first post here on the forums, i was just looking for some constructive advice on my situation.
Three years ago my laptop was stolen from my house it was about a year old and it had lojack on it. Recently it was just located in central america and will soon be returned to me. i don't want to use the laptop and won't be inputting my personal info or anything but i am a current college student in the IT/info sec field of study and was looking to use the laptop for some practice since i could care less if i break it or brick it etc.
what i would like to know is when i get it back what should i do first to diagnose it and look at it since im sure its been through all kinds of hell, without harming say my network etc... what would your first steps be in this situation? What tools should i use, again my primary function here is to learn hands on what i should be looking for/at and ave a bit of fun.
Thanks.
