PowerPoint presentation: Lab – Fun With Linux
PDF document: Linux Commands Cheat Sheet.pdf
Assignment:
Begin reading the Lab – Fun With Linux presentation to have a little fun while practicing with commands in the Linux operating system.
This lab will introduce you to the APT Repository, an open source collection of apps, games and utilities that can be downloaded and used in Linux for free.
Notice that the games and utilities that you will encounter in today’s lab use many of the commands and techniques that we have been studying over the past week!
To complete today’s Lab activity, upload a screenshot of your ASCII aquarium to today’s Google Classroom assignment post!
Bonus: On today’s assignment post, you will find the promised Linux Commands Cheat Sheet! Download it, and use it in good health.

Read the Lab – Linux 102 to review advanced Linux commands within the Linux operating system.
Use the Terminal app in your Kali Linux virtual environment in the CYBER.ORG Cyber Range to follow along with the presentation, and practice or test the commands as you read about them.
The Lab – Linux 102 presentation will introduce advanced options and flags, searching for text strings using find and grep, changing file ownership and permissions, and gaining “super user” privileges with the sudo command, among other topics.
We will work on this Lab today and tomorrow, and will conclude with a final Linux activity on Wednesday that will be due on Friday.
As proof of completion of the Linux 102 Lab, upload a screenshot of the custom log commands you created on the syslog (On Your Own) slide, as verified by displaying the last 10 lines of the syslog (demonstrated in the presentation).

Assignment:
Read the Lab – Linux 101 to review fundamental Linux commands within the Linux operating system.
Use the Terminal app in your Kali Linux virtual environment in the CYBER.ORG Cyber Range to follow along with the presentations, and practice or test the commands as you read about them.
Begin reading the Lab – Linux 101 presentation to study the fundamentals of the Linux operating system. I will show you how to do some of the steps (Watch) and we will do some of the steps together (Together). Then, you will need to follow the steps listed on each “On Your Own” slide, being careful not to skip any steps.
To demonstrate completion of this assignment, upload two screenshots: The first of the Terminal window from slide 24 that shows the results of the rm -rf command, and the second of the Terminal window displaying the results of the -v option when used with both of the directory commands introduced on slide 36 of the Lab presentation.

Today, you will receive your login information for the CYBER.ORG Cyber Range at https://apps.cyber.org.
A cyber range is a virtual lab environment where students are able to simulate cybersecurity scenarios in a safe, protected online environment as they explore the back end of IT systems used by today’s industries.
Check your Teams for your username/password, and use it to log into the Cyber Range. You will use the Cyber Range to complete the Lab Activities and Case Study assignments throughout this course.
Please see Mister Marmolejo if you encounter any difficulties connecting to or logging into the Cyber Range.
We will begin using the Cyber Range with our first Lab Activity exploring the Linux Command Line Interface on Monday.

In this document, write a couple of sentences to tell me about the most interesting thing you’ve learned during our past week and a half together. It can be anything you learned in this class: something about the room, about the class itself, about me or another member of the class, etc. Add a couple more sentences about what you’re interested in learning about CyberSecurity (techniques, cyberthreats and how to handle them, cryptography, all of the above). If you don’t know specifically what you want to learn, just type a few sentences that let me know that you’ve got an open mind.
When you are finished, click the words “Untitled Document” in the upper left corner, and give this document a proper name.
