Objective: Given a scenario, students will use appropriate software tools to assess the security posture of an organization.
Resources:
- See PowerPoint presentations: 4.1.3. – Shell and Script Environments and 4.1.1 – Network Reconnaissance and Discovery Tools
Assignment:
- Download and read the 4.1.3. – Shell and Script Environments presentation to learn about the different interfaces available within Linux. Then, download and read the 4.1.1 – Network Reconnaissance and Discovery Tools presentation to get details about the many network discovery tools available within Kali Linux.
- We will be using the information in these presentations in a series of labs that will be issued on Thursday.
Assigned: September 14th, 2021
Teacher Pacing Due Date: September 16th, 2021
Objective:
Students will continue preparing for proficiency in cyber security by reviewing networking fundamentals.Links:
Topics Discussed:
- Network Basics
- OSI Model
- TCP/IP Model
- Network Addressing
- Application Layer
- Transport Layer
- Network Layer
- Link Layer
- DHCP Overview
Assignment:
- Visit the Linux Journey website and scroll down to the “Networking Nomad” section. Click on the “Network Basics” item. This week we will focus on Networking fundamentals.
- Read up on the Network Basics and the OSI model. Much of this will be review from our previous experience in the lab, but we will use this week to go into further detail as to how the different parts of the OSI model work together, and how each part of the process functions to allow machines to communicate with each other.
- On Thursday, we will get into subnetting, which is a way of dividing networks up into smaller groups by address.

Topics Discussed:
- Network Basics
- OSI Model
- TCP/IP Model
- Network Addressing
- Network Configuration
- Network Interfaces
- Network Manager
- route Command
- dhclient Command
- ARP
Assignment:
- Visit the Linux Journey website and scroll down to the “Networking Nomad” section. Click on the “Network Config” item.
- Network Configuration is how you set up your network. In Windows, much of this is done for you by the OS. Linux will do this for you if you want it to, but if you want to get hands-on with the interfaces and routing options, then there are many tools within the CLI that will let you do so.
- Read through the module to discover how to view and manipulate network interfaces, routing tables, DHCP leases, ARP caches and view network settings using the Network Manager tool.
- Don’t forget to get signed out for Advisory tomorrow to participate in the AZ Cyber Warfare Range hacking activity with David Hernandez! It’s going to be a 90 minute activity, so you’ll want to get started during Advisory to participate in the whole thing!
