This page highlights a series of Linux-based cybersecurity labs completed for CYSE 301: Cybersecurity Techniques and Operations<\/strong>. These hands-on projects involved practicing system hardening, incident response, ethical hacking, and securing operating systems against common cyber threats. Each lab focused on applying operational security concepts in real-world scenarios to strengthen technical skills and critical thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Module 0<\/strong> – Basic Linux Commands<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This lab focused on practicing essential Linux terminal commands used for file navigation, permissions, user management, and basic system control in cybersecurity environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Module 1<\/strong> – Traffic Tracing and Sniffing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This lab involved using network analysis tools to trace, capture, and interpret network traffic, helping to identify potential security vulnerabilities and understand normal versus abnormal network behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\nLab-Report-for-Assignment-2<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Module 2 – Sword vs. Shield<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This lab simulated offensive and defensive cybersecurity operations by testing vulnerabilities in a controlled environment and applying defense techniques to secure the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\nLab-Report-for-Assignment-3<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Module 3 – Ethical Hacking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This lab explored ethical hacking principles and penetration testing strategies, using practical exercises to demonstrate how attackers exploit vulnerabilities and how defenders can identify and patch security gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Module 4 – Password Cracking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this part of the lab, I explored how different systems store and protect passwords. I practiced using cybersecurity tools to crack passwords, gaining a deeper understanding of password vulnerabilities and the importance of strong authentication methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Module 5 – Wireless Security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this part of the lab, I focused on the vulnerabilities of Wi-Fi networks. I used security tools to capture wireless traffic, decrypt network communications, and analyze weaknesses in common wireless encryption protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\nLab-Report-for-Assignment-5<\/a>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Module 6 – Hide Your Secret!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this lab, I practiced using steganography techniques to hide sensitive information within files and learned methods for detecting hidden data, highlighting the challenges of data protection and cyber forensics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
