Summary

This lab had us setup a vm of a Linux centos7 workspace and connect it to a windows server. Using the $nmtui command the IPv4 could be configured and connecting the machine so that it is able to ping my server, workstation and google. Moving to the windows workstation I was able to use the ssh command in PowerShell to log into the Linux account. Many commands were shown and entered such as $yum install tree for later. Adding and removing users with the $useradd and $passwd command. The $History command shows a history of previously entered commands. Bash history is a file that is able to be viewed which can keep track of what is last entered, but can also keep track of information such as passwords which can be dangerous. Using the $Cat /dev/null>~/.bash_history command it wipes the history.
