Welcome to my SEC-480 Tech Journal!!!

This is my landing page for SEC-480, where you will find the following:

Class description

Taken from course Canvas:

Welcome to NET/SEC/SYS480, an advanced CNCS course that explores late breaking topics in Security, Networking and Systems Administration.  This year's 
course running will have a decidedly Systems Administration focus but will incorporate a good deal of Security and Virtual Networking concepts that you  
likely have not seen before.

๐Ÿ“– Chronological Journal for SEC-480

Below is a dropdown with chronological details about each week in SEC-480 (if commands dont work, try retyping the spaces)

๐Ÿ“… Week 1

1/18/23

  • Finished Milestone 1 technical aspect, took notes of process for later Github Journal

1/20/23

1/20/23 - 1/21/23

Week 2

1/22/23 - 1/23/23

๐Ÿ“… Week 2

๐Ÿ“… Week 3

๐Ÿ“… Week 4

  • Noticed that I unfortunately, in the process of automating my documentation process, was accidently uploading pictures with lower quality (.gif instead of .png) in my documentation. This affected Milestones 2-4. After reviewing the milestones, I believe that the images are still legible aka you can still derive the needed information. In case this does affect the ability to see the pictures accurately, I have uploaded the used images for the milestones as a reference in the following folders (images go by 2's in order from top to bottom on the Milestone page. Milestone 2 and 3 are combined)
  • Leveraging some Python code, I was able to revise M2-4 with the uploaded images, should be cross referenced with the corresponding Milestone incase of picture malfunction

๐Ÿ“… Week 5 & 6

๐Ÿ“… Week 8

  • Created and finished Milestone 7 - Deploying and Post Provisioning of BlueX Linux Servers
  • Noticed that for some reason in my conversion process sometimes non-breaking spaces are inserted where just spaces should be, luckily it seems that when Github processes the non-breaking spaces for either wiki or code, they become spaces so the commands work (only doesnt work if you go into wiki > edit it > copy the command.) The non-breaking spaces are converted to regular spaces in wiki non-editing, markdowns in code, AND raw code. I dont know how these spaces got into my markdown, but they appear completely like spaces on most terminals BUT completely breaks the commands in them. I will fix this for the next milestone, but from testing I believe that all code blocks on Github are good. This might be the issue but I am going to investigate this issue more. FUTURE NOTE FOR SELF: IF COMMANDS ARENT WORKING, RETYPE THE SPACES IN THE TERMINAL
    • Moral of the story, check all of the code blocks

๐Ÿ“… Week 9/10

๐Ÿ“… Week 12

  • Outside of the milestone. made some general improvements to my 480 utils. I changed the Get-VMIP function to get IPs better (changed $GenVmInfo.nics.IPAddress[0].ToString() to $GenVmInfo.IPAddress[0].ToString()) and added a location flag at the end of my clones deployment section in Deploy-Clone(powercli interprets a "" value as dropping it in root, so the location works for my vCenter enviro well.)

๐Ÿ“… Week 14

๐Ÿงพ Ordered Technical journals

Below are journal pages for technical assignments ordered first to last in order of completion (revised versions include higher quality images, and in some cases, corrected commands if need be - if in doubt be sure to cross reference with non-revised and IF COMMANDS ARENT WORKING, RETYPE THE SPACES IN THE TERMINAL):
