CyberSecurity part 24
Functional Programming in Coq
Staying on the theme of programming and cybersecurity, this course is about Functional Programming in Coq and was mentioned on the Libreplanet discuss mailing list. It may be useful generally as a way to learn skills that can be applied to other languages or just generally.

Courses and further reading:-
Courses related to Kali Linux
Learning how to use these and the associated tools is way beyond the scope of what I am doing here. I would therefore suggest you look in to other learning options.
There are many other providers, not sure about any in Torbay, we do seem to be in the dark ages down here. But Tech Learning Collective do several courses.
I have listed some providers below, and would hope that the forum may, eventually be a good source of information too.

Latest FutureLearn course
I signed up to another FutureLearn course, “Atmospheric Chemistry : Planets and life beyond Earth” a few weeks ago.
Mostly for personal interest, however, parts of this will tie in with the National Curriculum.
This is a 4 hour course, spread over 2 weeks, I took my time to compete this as I had other things to do at the same time.

CyberSecurity part 21
Python, is a very useful and powerful programming language which can be used for a wide variety of tasks, including those relating networking and cybersecurity, pen testing etc. Therefore having a good knowledge will be very beneficial going forward. To this end there are a few links below.
Python is also pre-installed on the Raspberry Pi, however you can also experiment via Replit. FreeCodeCamp have a number of python courses, one or two are related to cybersecurity. Vfsync which we are using as a virtual GNU / Linux machine, comes with Python 2.7 and Python 3.8.3
localhost:~$ python
Python 2.7.18 (default, Apr 21 2020, 01:56:54)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

VLC media Player
I am not sure if this is a bug. When opening an MP3 track in VLC, the colours for the album graphic appear to be incorrect.
The image on the left is correct and how it appears in the xfce4 file manger, the image on the right is how it appears in VLC media player.
It is almost as if vlc inverts the image colour scheme.

Code Club 21/5/2022 Write up
We had a quieter code club today, 3 attendees, however it was rather productive. Some excellent work on scratch, work on FreeCodeCamp, who seem to have recently rewritten the responsive web design course, never the less we made progress with the new course, and also some HTML / CSS work with Replit.
I have created some more Scratch accounts for us to use at Code Club, even though I encourage people to create their own.

CyberSecurity part 20
Over the past 20 days, we have covered a wide range of topics. Given that we are heading towards discussing cyber security, then it is time we started to look at the legal framework behind this.
The United Kingdom has a piece of legislation called the Computer Misuse act, that was introduced in 1990. There is a video below about this.
I am sharing so that it is clear that what you learn and undertake with systems such as Kali Linux has to be within the law.

CyberSecurity part 19
Today, we are looking at virtual machines, and the video even mentions Kali Linux, which is one of the pentesting distributions we will be looking at later on.
