Welcome to my Born2BeRoot project repository! This is part of the 42 Cursus, where we dive deep into system administration by building and securing our very own Linux virtual machine. If you're here, you're probably on the same journey, so let's make it a fun and enriching experience together! 🚀
- 🖥️ Born2BeRoot: A Complete Guide for 42 Cursus
Born2BeRoot is all about:
- 🌐 Setting up a secure virtual server using Debian or Rocky Linux.
- 🔒 Implementing strict security measures like encrypted LVM, firewalls, and password policies.
- 💻 Building a solid foundation in system administration for real-world scenarios.
This project challenges us to not only follow precise configurations but to understand every step deeply. It’s more than just another project—it's a gateway to mastering Linux server management!
Here’s a glimpse of the skills I gained while working on this project:
- 🛠️ Virtualization: Creating and managing virtual machines with VirtualBox.
- 🔒 Security: Configuring AppArmor, and firewalls for secure environments.
- 📜 Scripting: Writing a
monitoring.shscript to automate system health checks. - 🧩 LVM: Setting up and understanding Logical Volume Management for flexible partitioning.
- 🚀 Real-World Practices: Managing SSH access and enforcing strong password policies.
