Networking and SSh

I have decided to republish these links as there are a few people on the Fediverse who work or are involved in InfoSec and CyberSecurity.

These videos are a starting point for understanding networking and also SSH which allows remote login to remote computer.

So next up are the links to the videos on Networking and another video on OpenSSH (SSH being Secure SHell of course.

I am reposting links to previous blog posts that looked at these topics:-

• Networking
• OpenSSH

I can be contacted on Fediverse / mastodon, search for @zleap@qoto.org.

NANO and Shell scripting

I have decided to republish these links as there are a few people on the Fediverse who work or are involved in InfoSec and CyberSecurity. These videos are a starting point as it is very useful to understand how to use the GNU/Linux command line along with related tools in general.

You may find the links on the BASH Basics post useful

Series ending

After 27 parts, this series is now coming to an end.

The BASH series is going to be given a new home. In order to facilitate this, it is being re-written and will form part of a larger project.

As this is now taking up my time, it makes sense to end the and focus on the new format that it will be presented in. I am also getting some help from a few very capable young hackers with this.

Nevertheless, the new format will look better and be more useful than a video and a list of commands that are just a summary of the video.

In other news, the Tuxiversity forum and website (below) are also going to be overhauled.

If you wish to ask questions about the current series, I am available via Internet Relay Chat (zleap), as are other members of the team behind this project.

A guide to self hosting

AndewYu has produced a really useful guide, detailing how you can set up your own website and host this yourself, from obtaining a domain, setting up DNS and obtaining a SSL Certificate,

There is a lot of really useful information here, and it ties in nicely with this series of posts and perhaps learning about writing websites with HTML / CSS for example.

Open Source vs Free Software

There seems to be confusion around the terms Free software and Open Source Software.

To briefly clarify this.

The primary difference is philosophy – The free software movement says we're here doing all this because proprietary software is unethical. Wrong. Unjust.

The open source movement says we're here doing all of this because we can get technically better software.

Free software

Free software, does not simply mean the software is free as in cost, it refers to Free as in Freedom and a free software license such as the GPL [2] grants a user 4 freedoms.

• Freedom to use for any purpose
• Freedom to study the software
• Freedom to modify
• Freedom to copy and share the software with others

The freesoftware movement is also therefore about philosophy.
