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.

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 The permission model and how it is misconfigured Processes, services and what persistence looks like Log locations and how to read them User management and privilege boundaries Finding modified and suspicious files Basic shell scripting for repetitive tasks
