Personal repo tracking my Linux and security learning built while studying for CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701), which I passed in July 2026. It holds two related but separate projects: a hands-on SEC+ lab series built on VirtualBox, and a course report on Cisco's free Linux fundamentals course.
| Folder | What it is | Format |
|---|---|---|
kali-metasploitable-wazuh-linux/ |
Hands-on SEC+ labs (Domains 1–5) using Kali Linux, Metasploitable 2, and a Wazuh SIEM — nmap, Nikto, Hydra, iptables, OpenSSL, log analysis, incident response simulation, Wireshark, risk assessment, data classification, brute-force detection, and file integrity monitoring. | VM lab reports (.docx/.txt) + an HTML portfolio |
CISCO Linux Unhatched/ |
Course report on Linux Unhatched, a free 8-hour Cisco Networking Academy (NDG) course — 26 core Linux commands explained with sysadmin vs. cybersecurity context, plus a cheat sheet and a SEC+ exam domain mapping. | Self-contained HTML pages |
The CISCO course covers the command-line foundation that the hands-on labs actually run on, even though it was completed after some of the labs chronologically.
Hands-on labs: open kali-metasploitable-wazuh-linux/Portfolio.html in a browser for the full lab writeups, or follow SEC+_Lab_Instructions.txt to rebuild the lab environment from scratch.
Course report: open CISCO Linux Unhatched/Course Report - CISCO Linux Unhatched.html in a browser. No build step or dependencies — every page in that folder is self-contained.
- VirtualBox (Kali Linux, Metasploitable 2, Ubuntu Server + Wazuh SIEM) for the hands-on labs
- Vanilla HTML/CSS (no framework, no build step) for all report/portfolio pages
Both projects supported the same goal: building practical, hands-on security fundamentals while studying for Security+. The labs provided the offense/defense muscle memory (attacking Metasploitable, then watching Wazuh detect it); the CISCO course report provided the Linux command-line foundation everything else depends on.
