CyberSecurity part 1
Several people at Code Club / STEM Group have expressed an interest in learning about cybersecurity and ethical hacking.
As this is a huge subject area, I am going to start off with a series of posts to take this back to basics, starting off with learning about the Linux terminal and associated commands using the BASH shell.
Firstly, we need access to a Linux system, there are numerous options here, however this include using a Raspberry Pi or Beagle Bone Black, Installing a GNU / Linux operating system on your computer at home or using a virtual machine.
Another alternative would be to use a browser based emulator, such as:-
For the purpose of what I want to present here, I will be using the Alpine Linux option, (console). This could be the best short term solution, I will be making a post on virtualisation.
Important note going forward, is that the GNU / Linux console / terminal is case sensitive.
Discussion
As code club runs on the First and Third Saturday of the month, with the STEM group running on the Second Saturday, it makes sense to be able to ask questions in the meantime. To this end, I am going to suggest that we make use of the forum set up to support self directed learning. Of course this is open to other learners too.
This is free to use, as it is my own forum, the most important thing, is that it is hosted within the GDPR jurisdiction, so data is safe.
The next post in this series, will look at the JS Linux option a little further, if you DO have access to a Linux box, then great.
