The two videos listed gives a free course about how one can master Linux. Free code camp is a YouTube channel that provides programming and many other skills for cyber security specialist and ethical hacking. This video in particular provides a course for learning Linux. Network chuck also provided a course going in detail on how to operate in Linux. So, the question might be roaming in your head of what is Linux? Linux is operating system that provides us with hacking tools. This is a dangerous weapon for anyone to have for the reason being its open source so anybody can use it. For example, Nmap is a network scanner that one can download through Linux. This allows the user to get access of a person's network and gather information on the victim of their choosing.  Linux is the most important tool in the world of technology. The article goes into depth about the steps to work in Linux and finding vulnerabilities to attack. It describes about the programming in Linux and how knowing the bit system can be huge help to attack networks.  What surprised me the most in the article is how they discuss about the kernel and how powerful it is. The kernel is the magic behind Linux it allows you to communicate with the hardware of a device. When setting up Linux one needs to have a virtual lab the article consists of having a virtual box and VMware to set up.  The article also suggests having a good ram and enough storage to run this set up.  Linux can change a whole person life it did to me. Learning Linux would help a person land a job in cybersecurity. All hackers no matter the color always used Linux. Being on Linux this week has been fun me mastering open-source software will make me a dangerous man.
