This book details basic system administration skills for Unix-like systems. It is good bundled with the Guide to the Secure Configuration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 by the National Security Administration and the Introduction to Linux: A Hands On Guide.

This lab manual accompanies the textbook Linux Essentials for Cybersecurity, which teaches people how to use Linux systems and ensures that the Linux systems they work on are as secure as possible. To really become a Linux cybersecurity expert, you need practice. In this book, there are three different types of labs to practice your skills: Labs in which you are presented with a short problem that requires only a single operation to complete. Labs that are more complex but in which we provide you with a guide to perform each step, one at a time. Scenario labs in which you are asked to solve a problem entirely on your own. These labs are designed to pose a greater challenge. No matter the type, these labs are designed to be performed on live Linux systems to give you hands-on practice and develop critical thinking and complex problem-solving skills.

The Lab Manual provides students with the hands-on instruction necessary to prepare for the certification exam. Designed for classroom-led or self-paced study, labs complement main text content and offer a unique, practical approach to learning that is a key component to the exams. The Lab Manual includes lab activities, objectives, materials list, step-by-step procedures, illustrations and review questions.

Ideal for students with little or no computer experience, this essential learning tool is filled with fundamental skill-building exercises, hands-on tutorials, and clear explanations. And, it’s written by a leading UNIX and Linux curriculum developer and instructor, making it perfect for both learning -- and teaching -- the basics.
