Linux Foundations
Build the Linux command line, system and networking skills that security work depends on.
Linux Foundations: what it is and why it matters
Many security tools and servers run on Linux, so confident use of the command line is a base skill for testers, responders and analysts. This offering builds that base with a security focus.
It suits learners who need to move from graphical tools to working directly with files, processes, permissions and networking.
