Here are the General Unix course offerings:
Course Overview:
This course is extremely fast paced and for students that have already had UNIX or Linux training, or have not worked with Linux in several months or years. This is NOT a course for students new to Linux and assumes the student requires a refresher before progressing through high end security courses that require dexterity on Linux. RedHat and Ubuntu, VMware Virtual Machines, and BackTrack are used for the instruction of this course. The student will acquire the skills to easily navigate the advanced VMware training environment and will be able to create scripts to manipulate and manage Linux. The ulimate goals of the skills of this course is to provide the student the ability to automate through scripting BackTrack tools for offensive security, forensics, and defense.
Attendees to L-395: Accelerated Linux Administration and Utilities will receive TechNow approved course materials and expert instruction.
