Reflection/Goals

I really enjoyed this course. I found it very fun and informative. It has given me many new technical skills, such as navigating a file system as well as making and managing accounts, files, and directories. It also gave me experience in making and running scripts and automations. At some points I did find the…

Lab 11

This lab gave a better understanding of the effects of different network connections on how the computer interacted with the internet. I used commands like ifconfig, route, netstat, ping, host, and cat to look at my network settings, routing table, active connections, and DNS information. I thought it was very interesting how switching to the…

Lab 10

This lab was a good refresher on binary codes. I learned how to read these when I was in high school and being able to do them again was a pleasant surprise although I was a little rusty. Over all it was a simple lab that gave a better understanding of IP addresses and subnetting….

This lab gives a good understanding of backups, scripting, scheduling, and managing system storage.

Honestly it is the labs like these that make it feel like using something other than the command terminal would be more efficient, but it did give a…

Lab 5

For me personally, this was a pretty difficult lab. The first two steps were simple enough but for some reason on the third step I could not get the password cracker to work. Because I was unable to get the third password cracker to work I could not attempt the extra credit portion either which…

Lab 4

This lab was really helpful in learning how to complete administrative tasks such as creating, managing, and deleting users. groups, and files. This is essential information for most linux users especially those working in administration and cybersecurity. Overall this was a simple and enjoyable lab.
