Course Material

This course allowed me to experience how the linux system operates, how it deals with the issue of security, and how attackers can take advantage of the system. My assignments for the class started with basic Linux learning such as using the command line and managing users. We then got into the security aspect of the system and learned how password were stored and the different ways attackers can try to get into accounts and the system as a whole.
