Linux Unhatched
A passionate Cybersecurity Analyst on a journey to become a Digital Forensics Investigator. Started this blog to keep track of my growth in tech.
This is my first published article as a Cybersecurity Personnel and I decided to start by writing on the very first skill which I learned-Linux (still learning though).
This article is based on the free course by NDG. You can find the course here. It is a course for learners with little or no Linux experience.
