Welcome to the "System Administration & Security Handbook" GitHub repository! This handbook is a comprehensive guide derived from my CS 410 System Admin & Security final project, taught by Dan Carrere at the University of Oregon. It serves as a starting point for aspiring system administrators and security experts.
System administration involves managing and overseeing the operational aspects of a computer system or network. Sysadmins are tasked with ensuring that these systems are efficient, secure, and meet the needs of the organization.
This handbook is open-source to foster a community-driven approach to learning and sharing knowledge. Open sourcing doesn't mean relinquishing credit; I retain authorship and acknowledgement for my work. It means the material can be freely used, adapted, and distributed, with the proper attribution to the original source.
Your contributions are welcome! Feel free to:
- Fork this repository to make your own version.
- Star this project if you find it useful.
- Comment with feedback, suggestions, or questions.
- Contribute to future development.
I'm planning to further enhance the aesthetic appeal, unify the style, enrich the content, and incorporate more images. I aim to include applications of Linux in real-world scenarios, along with self-project guidance, and practical tips like the importance of regular system updates.
Additionally, there has been interest shown by a Chinese learning group, and as such, I'm considering translating the handbook into Chinese and other languages based on availability and demand.
Currently, the handbook is provided as a PDF file, which you can download and use as a reference guide. As the project develops, more interactive or user-friendly formats may be considered.
If you have any questions or comments about the handbook, feel free to open an issue in this repository, and I will respond as promptly as possible.
Thank you for your interest and support in making system administration and security knowledge more accessible!
