Pivoting into Cyber Security 💻 | Training to become a SOC Analyst. Currently deep in networking labs, switch hardening, & core defense protocols. Learning in

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

I am officially documenting my pivot into Cyber Security.
My ultimate goal is to become a SOC Analyst. Instead of just reading textbooks, I am building out practical networking and security labs from scratch. 🧵👇

Small commands like these make a big difference when working in Linux and are essential for cybersecurity professionals.

One lab at a time, one step closer to becoming a SOC Analyst. 🚀

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

> Another Linux lab completed! 💻🐧

Today I practiced using Linux wildcards to search and manage files more efficiently.

I learned how to use:

* to match multiple characters

? to match a single character

[ ] to match specific characters

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

Copying a file with cp and renaming it during the copy process.

Updating the locate database using updatedb.

Verifying the new file with the locate command.

Every Linux command I learn strengthens my understanding of the Linux file system and builds a solid foundation

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

Linux Foundation Lab: File Location with locate

Completed another Linux Foundation hands-on lab focused on locating and managing files from the command line.

In this exercise, I practiced:

Using locate to search for files with the .doc extension.

@Ahmed___khaan Hi

@AvinashSingh_20 Linux

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

These may look like simple commands, but they are the building blocks for mastering Linux, system administration, and cybersecurity.

Follow my journey as I continue learning, practicing labs, and sharing what I discover along the way.

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

Today, I took my first steps by learning some essential Linux navigation commands:

✅ "pwd" – Display the current working directory.
✅ "cd" – Change to another directory.
✅ "cd .." – Move up one directory level.
✅ "cd -" – Switch back to the previous directory.

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

Follow my journey as I document what I learn, the challenges I face, and the practical labs I complete. Every day is another step toward becoming a better IT and cybersecurity professional

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

Today marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. 🎉
I've officially completed my Networking learning journey! 🌐✅

[Ifekwu Ifeanyichukwu @Ifecobanky]

Now it's time for the next phase: Linux Fundamentals 🐧💻
I'm excited to learn the Linux command line, file systems, permissions, shell scripting, and everything that builds a strong foundation for cybersecurity and system administration.
