During my major, a lot of the courses I took required me to understand or use Linux. Linux was often used in my labs in digital forensics and ethical hacking courses. This introduced me to different tools and applications within Linux. I took a Linux System for Cybersecurity course which taught me the fundamentals. Topics that were touched on were: User and Group Accounts, File and Data Storage,  Local Storage: Essentials, Automation, System Administration, and Security Tasks. Overall, these courses gave me an understanding of Linux system administration. 

Section 1:

One of the things I learned from my Linux course was password cracking. In this assignment, we used John the ripper to crack passwords for accounts we created. We used a wordlist file that had thousands of common passwords to see if it would get cracked. This assignment also required us to understand hash functions and the role they play when it comes to securing passwords. 

Section 2:

This assignment we had to use shell scripting.

Section 3:

This assignment we had to create users and allocate them to different groups. These users and groups would be used in another assignment were we would have to give them different permission.
