Study Notes

Lecture 7: Unix Command Utilities

  • Overview:

    • Revision
    • Pathname
    • Copy, Move and Replace
    • Permission Modification
  • Creating a file:

    • Two methods: cat utility and touch command.
  • Displaying a text file:

    • The cat utility displays the contents of a text file.
  • Deleting a file:

    • The rm (remove) command is used to delete a file.
  • Deleting a directory/folder:

    • rmdir (remove directory) is used to delete an empty directory.
    • Cannot delete a directory containing files. First delete the files.
    • The -r option with rm is used for recursive deletion of directories and their contents.
  • Relative Pathname:

    • Traces a path from the working directory to a file.
    • Any pathname not starting with the root directory (/) is relative.
    • Useful for navigating through multiple directories.
  • Absolute Pathname:

    • Starts with the root directory (/).
    • Used to specify the precise location of a file or directory from the root.
  • Copy, Move and Rename:

    • cp command copies files/directories:
      • cp file1 [Directory Path]
      • cp -r folder1 [Directory Path]
    • mv command moves/renames files/directories:
      • mv file1 [Directory Path]
      • mv file1 [Directory Path]/file2 (renames)
      • mv file1 file2 (renames)
  • Access Permission:

    • Three types of users: owner, group, other.
    • Each user can access a file in three ways: read(r), write(w), execute(x)
    • Three types of users * three ways = nine possible ways to access files.
  • ls utility with -l and -g options:

    • ls -l displays detailed information about files.
    • ls -lg lists files including info on the file group permissions.
  • chmod Command:

    • Modifies file permissions.
    • Symbolic notation and octal numbers are common ways to represent permissions.
      • chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=r file1 (gives read,write,execute to user; read & execute to group; read to others)
      • chmod 754 file1 (same permissions as above expressed numerically)

Lecture 8: GREP and Aliasing

  • Regular Expressions:

    • The ability to match a string of text with flexibility and conciseness. (single char, word, sentence, or patterns)
  • GREP Command:

    • Prints lines matching a regular expression.
    • grep "text" filename searches for "text" within the file.
    • Using -w for whole word matches avoids partial matches.
    • Using -i for case insensitive searching.
    • Using -n displays the line numbers of matching lines.
  • The -A option:

    • Displays lines that come after the matched lines (N lines)
  • The -B option:

    • Displays lines before the matched lines (N lines)
  • The -C option:

    • Displays lines surrounding the matched lines (N lines before and after)
  • The -o option:

    • Prints only matching strings, not the entire matching lines.
  • Aliasing:

    • Shortnames for a command (or series of commands)

Lecture 9: Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)

  • Identity and Access (IDA):

    • Stores info on users, groups, computers, etc.
    • Identifies entities performing actions on a server using unique IDs.
  • AD data store:

    • A centralized, globally accessible repository for identities.
    • Managed on domain controllers performing the AD DS role.
  • IDA Responsibilities:

    • Authentication (Kerberos).
    • Access Control (ACLs—security policies).
  • IDA Technologies Supported by AD:

    • Identity management,
    • Application Integration and configuration,
    • Trust and Access control, -Integrity and secure access,
    • Partnership with other systems enabling Single sign-on (SSO) .
  • Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS):

    • A centralized repository for identity management.
    • Uses Group Policy to provide authentication and authorization services.
    • Enables users to find any component in the directory by searching.
  • Application Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS):

    • A standalone version of AD storing and replicating only application related information.
  • Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS):

    • Set up a Certificate Authority for issuing digital certificates.
  • Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS):

    • Information-protection technology enabling policy templates for allowed and disallowed access.
  • Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS):

    • Enables organizations to extend identity and access controls across multiple platforms and trusted partners, enabling single sign-on (SSO).
  • Beyond IDA:

    • AD provides comprehensive features like schema management, policy-based administration, and replication services for distributed network environments.
  • Schema:

    • A set of rules defining allowed object classes and attributes. (e.g. User objects with name and password attributes.)
  • Policy-based administration:

    • Provides a central configuration point for settings deployed across multiple systems. (e.g. group policies.)
  • Replication Services:

    • Copies data (including the directory itself) across disparate network segments to ensure consistency and availability.
  • Global Catalog:

    • Enables querying AD and locating objects within the data store.
  • Components of AD Infrastructure:

    • Active Directory data store
    • Domain controller
    • Domain
    • Forest
    • Functional levels
    • Organizational units (OUs)
    • Sites
  • Active Directory Data Store:

    • Centralized directory stored on domain controllers.
    • Contains schema, configuration, global catalog, and domain naming context.
  • Domain Controller (DC):

    • Servers that provide AD services.
    • Run the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC).
  • Domain:

    • A group of computers and users.
    • The scope of administrative policies, such as password complexity and account lockout policies.
  • Forest:

    • A collection of one or more domains that share the same configuration and schema.
      • Defines a security boundary within an organization.
  • Tree:

    • A hierarchical grouping of domains based on their DNS names within a forest.
  • Functional Level:

    • Defines the AD functionality and compatibility in a forest. (Windows 2000 native, Windows 2003 or Windows 2008).
  • Organizational Unit (OU):- Container for objects, scope for object management; groups policies (GPOs) can be linked to OUs.

  • Sites:

    • Represent a portion of the enterprise where network connectivity is optimal, defining replication scope.
