Networks don’t just connect devices.
They define scope and reach.
• LAN = local office/home
• WAN = wide-area connections
• MAN = city-level networks
• PAN = personal device networks

Built a sandbox inside my VM.
Simulated users, groups, permissions with Bash.

No production risk.
Just controlled practice.

Automated tasks.
Logged activity.
Versioned with Git.

You don’t need real servers to build real skills.

VM + structure = safe growth.

Basic file operations

1️⃣ touch – create a file
2️⃣ mkdir – create a folder
3️⃣ cp – copy files
4️⃣ mv – move/rename files
5️⃣ rm – delete files

These are Linux building blocks.

Just like physical security people need cybersecurity

CCTV → Firewalls
Home alarm → Antivirus
Home defense → Incident response

Get into the field

Plant your seed and nurture it 🌱

What Is Blue Team? (Think Defense)

🛡️ Blue Team = defenders
📘 Like security guards watching cameras
👉 They don’t hack
👉 They watch logs
🚨 Their job:
• Detect attacks
• Catch mistakes
• Stop breaches early

Most founders spend $10k on branding
and $0 on security.

Then wonder why data ends up on the dark web.

Branding won’t stop breaches. Security will. 🛡️

Check SSL. Update plugins. Use 2FA.
Are you protected or just lucky?

NAT isn’t magic it maps private IPs to public ones.

Types:

•Static NAT → one-to-one mapping
•Dynamic NAT → pools of addresses
•PAT (Port Address Translation) → many-to-one mapping

NAT hides internal IPs from the internet.

Debugged Apache on Ubuntu (ARM64).
Problem? Not Apache.

• Network / IPv6 conflict → apt couldn’t reach ports.ubuntu.com
• Solution: force IPv4, clean update & install ✅

Reminder: software rarely fails alone.
The network underneath matters.
