Learn more about iSCSI 

Current Week Accomplished/Hours worked

• Able to fixed hard drive issue.
• Finished making/sending username and password for all students.

Total Hours: 15 hours

Next week objectives

• Research cross-site scripting, authentication errors and SQL injection.

• Learned permissions and attributes to view permissions use ls -l. An example value is drwx-xr-x, each character have meaning:
• d is the directory.
• r is read file can be shown.
• x mean file can executed. 
• drwxr is the owner.
• xr is the user.

• I'm currently on codecademy to learn more about Linux command.

Thursday 

• iSCSI is Internet Small Computer System Interface. It is used link data storage over IP network infrastructure. This transport data between the iSCSI initiator (external storage to host computers) and iSCSI target (storage resource located) on a storage.

Friday

• NAS is network attached storage is a faster server. 
• Changing RAM to a computer.

Concerns and Issues

• There is an issue on memory storage. When I snapshot to back up a server, it gave me an error message stating the memory storage is full. Now I'm figuring out what is iSCSI.

Week 1 Jan. 9 - 13

Current week objectives

Give students access to Kali Linux

Current Week Accomplished/Hours worked

Finish setting up user for students in SRA 111 and SRA 221

Hours worked: 14.5 hours

Next week objectives

Email all students with their username and password.

Important lessons learned/New Skills

MONDAY

• Learn how to operate Linux by using remote control desktop. This allow me to connect to the other computer that has all SRA classes that need to do penetration testing.
• I have to remove all of the previous users because the memory was full and add the new users into the server.
• I also took a snapshot so if something went wrong I have a backup.

WEDNESDAY

• Relearn how to add users to the system. I added all the students for SRA 111, each student have their own username and password. I login each users to make sure that their passwords are correct by using the command ‘su’ which used to switch from another user.

FRIDAY

•  I’ve changed all of the student password to a stronger password. A former intern for SRA lab help me how to put all the students into the system quick by using vim. Example: johnlock:r3R(3eS* the colon symbol is between the username and password.

                    
Concerns and Issues

I have to research more about the HoneyD, a professor asked to prepare it.

Dec. 5 - Dec 9

Learn how to add users, group it (one class), how to delete a particular user.

Current Week Accomplished/Hours worked

Monday Hours: 3

Wednesday Hours: 4

Next week objectives

N/A

Important lessons learned/New Skills

MONDAY

• David show me what I expect to do next semester. HoneyD and maybe another virtual machine.
• He show me who to make HoneyD by googling it.

WEDNESDAY

I learned some of the command for Linux

• ls –man is the manual with argument
• adduser and useradd both can/work
• adduser can do a lot of thing for you.
• sudo adduser renerperez (case sensitive) sudo (will add to the group) –default password or student psu username
• root have the highest user, GIVE THIS TO PROGESSOR, ME, JOE.
• sudo rm –r testuser4/ (this REMOVE the actual directory, make sure to write the user which is the testuser/4, without this is will DELEE THE WHOLE ENTIRE THING) the –r recursive remove everything.
• cat .sdl .sh shows you what’s in it, light a list
• if you want to find specific name you use pipe | so, sudo cat massage | grep deny. -deny will actually show you the file that trying to go to the server.
• To create a new virtual machine click on new virtual machine on the left corner and you can modify the machine support.
• Storage is where you need the files for the particular virtual machine.
• Virtual machine startup & shutdown go to property and to it automatic.

Concerns and Issues

I’m more concern about making the virtual machine, Dave said he was working with it for two week. I take my time so things are perfect, so this might take me three weeks.

Nov. 27 - Dec. 2

Current week objectives

I’m working with David on things work on cyber lab. 

Current Week Accomplished/Hours worked

Hours: 4

Next week objectives

Visit the SRA lab to learn more about adding user and putting one class to a group.

Important lessons learned/New Skills

• SNAPSHOT: When UPDATING make sure I snapshot (this is like a backup for a particular machine) this make sure when it fried/error I can have a backup.
• LASTPASS: is where all the passwords are – this found on the top right corner of the internet browser.
• PUTT: I’m going to use this most of the time, to get into the system. USE the WAN IP then port number
• To login to cisco, type the IP then you can see the virtual system, Eagle kali, Owl kali, etc. When making the virtual system GOOGLE is the major 🔑.

SIDENOTE learn more command on Linux on code Academy other sources.

Concerns and Issues

When updating it might fried/error and forgot to snapshot it.
