I honestly don’t even know where to begin. Today was packed with material! We started off by reviewing Wireshark and then jumped into our daily Kahoot session to go over yesterday’s material.
The morning was focused on system administration and Linux. It became clear that the two go hand in hand—you can’t really have one without the other.
During the practical lab (which I had already completed), my classmate and I helped another classmate finish the Wireshark lab. Working in groups has been great for improving our teamwork skills, as we’re all learning to help each other out.
In the afternoon, we discussed hypervisors and virtual machines, then moved back to Linux. I was given a new lab called “Ninja Skills,” and it really made my brain work overtime. I had to research a ton of Linux commands. The real challenge, though, came when I realized I could use a Bash script (or ask ChatGPT for it) to help me solve the problems. After numerous attempts and a lot of scripting, I finally finished the lab. It was awesome to see the power of Bash scripting in action
After that, I decided to explore something the professor briefly mentioned: containers and Docker. I never really understood what containers were until today. I did two labs on containers and Docker, and now I’m trying to set up a container with an Ubuntu image. It’s been a bit of a learning curve, but I’m starting to get the hang of it.
Overall, it was an exhausting day. I’m still adjusting to all the new material, but I’m excited that I’m learning something new every day.
