First off I have to say I have been a real Linux fan for about three years now. I install different distros on everything from my everyday laptop, Raspberry Pi’s to desktop machines. But not once did I ever think about “hardening” any of them. I have always thought Linux to be relatively secure…and it is however if you want to take it a step further this is a course for you.

This course does more than take you through a bunch of modules, it takes you on a journey. A journey as far as you want to take it. I still have some ground to cover in this course but since I still consider myself a bit of a “newbie” when it comes to Linux I know I can go back to learn more as my skills grow.

Just some of my highlights…

How to determine security requirements.

BIOS Security

Disk Encryption

Network Services

FTP and HTTP Configuration and even firewall configuration.

The way I learn is by doing, not by watching and the instructor does a good job with demo’s that I can actually pause the video and carry out on my own machine. He is also very easy to understand, does not speak overly fast and covers information well.

If you are interested in security like myself I highly recommend this course, not only for it’s knowledge on the front end but some of this might be very useful when I am trying to reverse engineer security measures during a pentest.

It was pretty good listening to the tutor..teaches as if telling a story. Enjoyed the lessons taught. Thanks!

Course content could deliver better material with useful details relevant to the topics high lighted in the course. For example the Firewall section had a topic on IP Tables and then the course ended up scratching the surface with both Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) and the GUI for UFW. Now how does this approach help a student understand how to harden LINUX with IPTables and its various complexities?
