Hi, how is it going?
I'm not sure if I can post this here, but I'm certain you guys can help. I'm taking this quick linux security course ( 6 weeks ) which is part of a cyber security master program. The course is very stressing as i'm new to linux (the CLI specially) and the requirements for it are too much(HW, labs, quizzes...etc). The course first introduces you to linux and then add some security into the mix. Anyways, we learned about the basic commands and I can say that I'm familiar with it now.
There is a project that you need to do at the end (You will be given two weeks), which you will have to present, demo, and submit a written report about. I just want you to suggest me some simple projects. I was looking for ideas in google, but it was hard to find something simple enough to be suitable for a 6 weeks linux course. Most require you to be very familiar with linux and have some good background in networking/security.
One thing I found to be appropriate was to maybe learn about snort, then configure it in a way so that you can pass a certain penetration test. Do you think this will be a good idea?
Of course it is going to be better if the project can be useful in some way or another. Something to learn with and maybe use later.
I'll provide more course details if necessary.
I'm using: Fedora, Ubunto, Kali linux
Any comments are appreciated.
