Linux System for Cybersecurity
This course is the technical basis for students to take cybersecurity major courses and introduces the basic operations in major Linux distros for cybersecurity using both graphical interface and command line interface. Students will learn about the basic installation and configuration, file systems management, shell scripts, and user authentication in Linux systems.
The course objectives for this class are to:
- Introduce the basic concept and knowledge about different Linux distros, including the most popular distribution for cybersecurity, Kali Linux,
- Install and operate different Linux distros locally and remotely (on AWS cloud).
- Understand the ownership and permissions of the files and directories.
- Understand shell scripting by writing shell scripts to automate tasks in Linux systems
- Perform essential system administration functions, such as network configuration, process and log administration, and software management.
- Perform security tasks, such as footprinting, firewalls, and tools in relation to Intrusion Detection to secure the Linux systems.
Through the semester, lab assignments were given to provide hands-on practice and to reinforce the above course objectives. Below you will find a few of my labs that were conducted:
