Hardening Linux hosts reduces the potential for security incidents. A wide variety of techniques can be employed to secure the Linux boot process through advanced file system permissions. Begin this course by exploring hardening techniques related to the Linux system. You will discover how Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) secure boot can help secure the Linux boot process. Then you will learn how to control default file system permissions with umask, scan for open ports using nmap, and run a vulnerability assessment against a Linux host. Next, you will disable and remove unneeded components and configurations in Linux and configure a reverse shell. Finally, you will find out how to manage advanced file system permissions related to SUID, group ID (GID), and the sticky bit. This course can be used to prepare for the Linux+ XK0-005 certification exam.
