4.2.6 Lab Working with Text Files in the CLI (CISCO CyberOps Associate)
Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals
Introduction
Today's organizations are challenged with rapidly detecting cybersecurity breaches and effectively responding to security incidents. Teams of people in Security Operations Centers (SOCs) keep a vigilant eye on security systems, protecting their organizations by detecting and responding to cybersecurity exploits and threats. CyberOps Associate prepares candidates to begin a career working as associate-level cybersecurity analysts within security operations centers.
Target Audience
The CyberOps Associate course is designed for students who are seeking careeroriented, entry-level security analyst skills. Target students include individuals enrolled in technology degree programs at institutions of higher education and IT professionals who want to pursue a career in the Security Operation Center (SOC). Learners in this course are exposed to all of the foundational knowledge required to detect, analyze, and escalate basic cybersecurity threats using common open-source tools.
Prerequisites
CyberOps Associate students should have the following skills and knowledge:
• PC and internet navigation skills
• Basic Windows and Linux system concepts
• Basic understanding of computer networks
• Binary and Hexadecimal understanding
• Familiarity with Cisco Packet Tracer
Target Certification
This course aligns with the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate (CBROPS) certification. Candidates need to pass the 200-201 CBROPS exam to achieve the Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate certification.
The CBROPS exam tests a candidate’s knowledge and skills related to:
• security concepts
• security monitoring
• host-based analysis
• network intrusion analysis
• security policies and procedures
Course Objectives
CyberOps Associate covers knowledge and skills needed to successfully handle the tasks, duties, and responsibilities of an associate-level Cybersecurity Analyst working in a Security Operations Center (SOC).
Upon completion of the CyberOps Associate v1.0 course, students will be able to perform the following tasks:
• Install virtual machines to create a safe environment for implementing and analyzing cybersecurity threat events.
• Explain the role of the Cybersecurity Operations Analyst in the enterprise.
• Explain the Windows Operating System features and characteristics needed to support cybersecurity analyses.
• Explain the features and characteristics of the Linux Operating System.
• Analyze the operation of network protocols and services.
• Explain the operation of the network infrastructure.
• Classify the various types of network attacks.
• Use network monitoring tools to identify attacks against network protocols and services.
• Explain how to prevent malicious access to computer networks, hosts, and data.
• Explain the impacts of cryptography on network security monitoring.
• Explain how to investigate endpoint vulnerabilities and attacks.
• Evaluate network security alerts.
• Analyze network intrusion data to identify compromised hosts.
• Apply incident response models to manage network security incidents.
4.2.6 Lab - Working with Text Files in the CLI
Objectives
In this lab, you will become familiar with Linux command line text editors and configuration files.
Part 1: Graphical Text Editors
Part 2: Command Line Text Editors
Part 3: Working with Configuration Files
Instructions
Part 1: Graphical Text Editors
Before you can work with text files in Linux, you must be familiar with text editors. Text editors are one of the oldest categories of applications created for computers. Linux, like many other operating systems, has many different text editors, with various features and functions.
Step 2: Open SciTE from the Terminal.
You can also open SciTE from the command line. Click the terminal icon located in the Dock at the bottom of the desktop. The terminal emulator opens.
Part 3: Working with Configuration Files
In Linux, everything is treated as a file, including the memory, the disks, the monitor output, the files, and the directories.
