In CYSE 270 Linux System for Cybersecurity, we learn the basics of Kali Linux and the uses of it in real world environments.

We were able to gain hand-on experience through a number of assignments based on the different aspects and security focused tools of Kali Linux. Through this section of my website, I will show some examples where I was able to complete the assignment to perfection or close to it, as asked by my instructor.

This is the first assignment posted by my teacher where we executed a couple of commands and briefly explained their uses. I was able to score a 90/100 on this assignment only because I had trouble initially getting Kali Linux to actually work on my computer, which resulted in me submitting the assignment late.

This would be the second assignment where I was able to score a 100/100. In this assignment we were asked to work with different commands in order to manipulate the directory and showcase skills learned in class.

The next assignment would ask us to work with Vi Editor in order to gain some more practice on the skills we learned in class. I was able to get another 100/100 on this one, but it did require I look over the notes provided by my instructor.

For our next assignment we were tasked to work with groups and adding users to our system. Thankfully, I was able to get another 100/100, though I’ll admit this one was a bit harder for me and I, yet again, had to refer to our notes to complete the assignment on time.

The next assignment I wanted to upload couldn’t be done due to size requirements on the website, so instead I decided to upload the actual assignment and go over what the grade I got on it was. Which was a 95/100. My instructor, was then kindly able to correct my work and stated that my issue was that made a mistake on the umask value and how it should be entered umask 027

For this assignment we had to successfully automate a task within kali using code taught to us in class and in the notes. I was able to receive a 100/100 on this assignment though I needed to redo the code a number of time before submitting due to errors I kept having to patch until the automation was actually achievable.

This would be the latest and probably the simplest where all we had to do was list the different binary codes attached to each IP address provided and put it into a chart. I was able to score a 100/100 on this assignment as well, but only because my teacher provided us with ways to remember how to convert to binary code and the different ways to identify IP.
