Linux Systems for Cybersecurity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Course Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course introduces the basic operations in major Linux distros for cybersecurity using both graphical and command-line interfaces. I learned about the basic installation and configuration, file systems management, shell scripts, and user authentication in Linux systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course achieved its goal of introducing basic linux operations through using virtual machines such as Ubuntu and Kali-Linux. Throughout the semester, I was able to learn and practice key linux components through the modules that focused on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Module 1. Introducing Linux
\u2022 Distributions and Key components \u2022 Command line
\u2022 Accessing resources on AWS cloud
Module 2. User and Group Accounts
\u2022 Managing Group Accounts
\u2022 Managing User Accounts
\u2022 Develop an Account Security Policy
Module 3. File and Data Storage
\u2022 File Permissions
\u2022 Manage Local Storage: Essentials
Module 4. Automation
\u2022 Shell scripting
\u2022 Common Automation Tasks
Module 5. System Administration
\u2022 Process and Log Administration
\u2022 Networking
Module 6. Security Tasks
\u2022 Foot printing
\u2022 Firewalls
\u2022 Intrusion Detection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the course introduces foundational linux elements that can be translated and used in modern day advanced technology such as Amazon Web Services or Google Cloud Platform. The course deliberately applies each lesson with relevant exercises to that frequently calls back to previous modules to complete the assignments. CYSE 270 is a necessary course for cyber security students searching for foundational elements within the cyber world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
