Description
Almost every server you assess will be Linux, and almost every tool you use will assume you can drive a shell. This course builds that fluency.
Structured around tasks you will actually do: find what is running, work out who can access what, read the logs, and spot what does not belong.
Who is this course for?
- Aspiring security analysts
- IT professionals moving into security
- Developers who want to build securely
- Students with no prior experience
What you will learn
Shell fluency and text processing
