Labs

Preparations

Various practical skills (we will discuss these topic in class as well.)

• Command-line shell: In the modern era of computing, we usually enjoy using nice GUI program to work with our files and folder. However, command-line interface still wins in many aspects. It can be much faster and more accurate. In many cases, e.g., in server maintenance and in many DevOps's activities, command-line interface is the only choice. Here are a few how-to:
  • Windows:
    • by AxiomSecurityLabs: part1, part2
    • by DrapsTV (slower): part1, part2, part3
  • Linux:
    • by tutoraLinux
    • in Thai Intro Unix CLI
  • Mac OS:
    • youtube by SysAdmGirl
    • youtube by Penn State MacAdmins (slower)
• Master your Editor/IDE:
