(adopted shamelessly from Soldier of Fortran)
- Follow this guide about hercules and getting your own mainframe running: Running sweet Big Iron on your laptop
- Read this whole blog from the bottom to the top. You can skim most things but there’s a lot of good information there.
- Once you’re up and running with everything working add a user using this guide.
- Create your own logon CLIST to do something interesting
- Create your own VTAM logon screen
- Compile netcat in OMVS (take a look at NC110-OMVS): I leave it up to you to figure out how to upload it (there’s at least two ways I can think of)
- Write a JCL in ISPF to run IRRDBU01 (RACF database unload) to do some analysis of the output
- Download a copy of the RACF database and use John the Ripper or Hashcat to crack username/passwords. See how long it takes to crack hard vs easy passwords.
- Use the DoD DISA STIG for RACF and lockdown/secure your z/OS implementation:
- Read the 12 IBM redbooks about z/OS (this one is a crazy recommendation but if you’ve got the time do this, I don’t but it’s on my list of things to check out)
- Write a simple hello world program in C and compile/execute it in TSO
