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.

Who Should Read This Book?

It might be easier to answer the question “Who shouldn’t read this book?” Linux distributions are used by a large variety of individuals, including the following: software developers; database administrators; website administrators; security administrators; system administrators; system recovery experts; big data engineers; hackers; government organizations; mobile users and developers (Android is a Linux distribution); chip vendors (Embedded Linux is found on many chip devices); digital forensic experts; educators.

This isn’t even a complete list! Linux is literally everywhere. It is the operating system used on Android phones. A large number of web and email servers run on Linux. Many network devices, such as routers and firewalls, have a version of embedded Linux installed on them.
This book is for people who want to better use Linux systems and ensure that the Linux systems they work on are as secure as possible.
