The course aims for the student to develop knowledge and understanding of Linux administration, and of how to configure and administer Linux systems with a focus on security. The goal of the course is for the student, through theory and practical exercises, to develop specialised knowledge of Linux Hardening in order to provide professional network security. After completing the course, the student shall be able to configure a Linux system, harden the operating system, and with installed services minimise a potential attack surface and secure system services, thereby minimising the risk of a hacker attack succeeding. After completing the course, the student shall have the skills to manage, administer and configure Linux systems according to security standards. After completing the course, the student has the competence to carry out preventive security work in networks and operating systems.
