Linux Progress-
I can use commands like 'ifconfig' to check my IP and MAC addresses. I can also use 'iwconfig' to check wireless connections.
I can change my IP and MAC address. (Note- I immediately regretted it, all my network connection from my virtual box were cut off, I restarted my PC due to panic 😅)
I can assign myself a new IP address by using dhclient.
I have started learning Bash Scripting and I also made my first Bash script, (it is not too good).
Networking Progress-
1.Deep Dive into OSI and TCP/IP models as I said last week :)
2. I got a basic knowledge about each OSI layer, i.e. layer 1- Physical, Layer 2- Data Link, Layer 3- Network, Layer 4- Transport, Layer 5- Session, Layer 6- Presentation, Layer 7- Application.
3. I learned all important port numbers, their protocols and port type by heart <3
4. Got a basic knowledge of Access point, DNS server, DHCP, NAT, Default Gateway (known as IP address of our router that connects our LAN to the Internet.
5. Learned difference between private and public IP.
What I couldn't finish-
I couldn't begin with Python.
I wasn't able to complete target chapters in 'Linux basics for hackers' and 'Network basics for hackers'.
Things to be noted-
NEVER EVER change your MAC address and IP address without any information about the new MAC or IP address
In Linux, try to avoid writing files names with spaces, it can cause errors in commands. To avoid these errors, use quotation marks (" ")
Final Thoughts-
Overall, this week was very less productive, and I couldn't do most of the things and missed few of the targets. I think that I should try to avoid burn outs and slacking off during my studies.
Thank you for reading. See you on week 3 ^^
