Through the numerous cybersecurity and information technology classes I have taken, I have had the great opportunity to complete assignments and projects that have allowed me to develop skills in networking, programming, and cybersecurity essentials. For each skill, there are three artifacts that showcases an assignment or project that has helped me learn these technical skills.
Networking
Summary:
Utilizing Cisco Packet Tracer and Ubuntu in Linux OS enabled me to gain a strong sense of how networking infrastructure works. This skill is especially important to know because it’s essentially how the devices we use everyday communicate with each other.
Artifacts:
- Home Network Design Assignment
- Cisco Packet Tracer Assignment
- Linux Basic Network Configurations Assignment
Programming
Summary:
Primarily used Python and Ubuntu in Linux OS to perform programming and coding learning assignments. Understanding programming is important as a cybersecurity major because it allows me to understand cyber threats on a deeper level.
Artifacts:
- CYSE 250 ifStatement Assignment
- CYSE 250 Socket Programming Project
- CYSE 270 Command Line Assignment
Cybersecurity Essentials
Summary:
Using cybersecurity tools and interfaces such as Wireshark, Microsoft Windows, and Ubuntu has helped me learn essential cybersecurity technical skills such as password cracking, tracing and sniffing, and permission assignment.
Artifacts:
