There were some new topics I had not seen before, such as contrab, which is used for task scheduling and task automation. This course has taught me some in real-life situations when it comes to topics such as user management, where I had to: create users, set their passwords, and set them to the right group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linux System for Cybersecurity This course introduces the basic operations in major Linux distros for cybersecurity, using both the graphical and command-line interfaces.
