Objective
The goal of this crash course was to gain hands-on experience with Linux/Unix system administration. Students learned to navigate the command line, manage users and permissions, and perform essential system operations.
Key Skills Learned
- Navigating the Linux filesystem using commands like
cd,ls, andpwd. - Managing files and directories (
touch,mkdir,rm,cp,mv). - Understanding file permissions and using
chmod,chown, andumask. - User and group management (
useradd,groupadd,passwd). - Process monitoring and management with
ps,top, andkill. - Basic shell scripting for automation.
- Using package managers (
apt-get,yum) for software installation.
Reflection
This course gave me a strong foundation in working with Unix-based systems, which underpins much of modern cybersecurity. It also built confidence in using Linux distributions such as Kali Linux and Ubuntu, which I later applied in cybersecurity labs involving intrusion detection, log analysis, and forensic investigations.
