At the beginning, I was not very comfortable using the terminal, and I made a lot of mistakes when typing commands. Over time, I got better at using commands like <strong><code>cd<\/code>, <code>ls<\/code>, and <code>chmod<\/code>,<\/strong> and I started to understand how the system works. I also learned how to manage users, set file permissions, and work with networking tools. These skills were new to me, but practicing them in each lab helped me improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the semester went on, I became more confident working in the Linux environment. I learned how to fix my mistakes and figure things out when something did not work. I also got better at understanding system processes, storage, and network connections. Each lab built on the one before it, which helped me grow step by step. I feel like I am now more independent and able to complete tasks without needing as much help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course is important for my future career in cybersecurity because it gave me hands-on experience with tools and systems that are used in the real world. Learning Linux is very important since many cybersecurity jobs require it. The skills I gained in this class will help me as I study for my AWS and Security+ certifications. Overall, this course helped me build a strong foundation and gave me more confidence in my ability to succeed in the cybersecurity field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this course, I learned a lot about how Linux works and how to use the command line.
