CYSE 270

Linux System for Cybersecurity

The course introduced basic operations in major Linux distros for cybersecurity using both
graphical interface and command-line interface. I learned about the basic installation
and configuration, file systems management, shell scripts, and user authentication in Linux
systems.

Assignment 4 Group and User Management

This assignment was designed to practice basic user and group account management in a Linux environment. Through tasks such as creating and managing user accounts, modifying group memberships, and performing administrative actions, this assignment helps develop hands-on skills for effective user and group management in cybersecurity.

I used commands like grep to display user account information, password details, and group memberships, including for the root account. I also created and managed users and groups, modified ownerships, and deleted users and groups, practicing essential Linux system administration tasks.

In the image, I executed commands such as cd ~ && echo $SHELL to check my current shell, sudo groupadd -g 01241284 to create a new group with a specific GID, and grep test /etc/group to display information about the test group. These commands helped me navigate directories, create groups, and view group information as part of managing user and group accounts.
