Linux & How Computers Really Work, for Cybersecurity Students - Private lessons

Linux & How Computers Really Work, for Cybersecurity Students

From 33 £ /h

Most cybersecurity courses skip the part everything else sits on: how Linux, processes and memory actually behave. You're expected to "just know" it. I teach that part, one to one, at your pace.

Who I am: a backend team lead with 7+ years in production, and a CTF player. My team placed 9th of 200+ at Standoff 15, a three-day live offensive-security competition, and I've published Hack The Box writeups and a malware analysis. I also mentored groups of 14-17 students at LANIT-Tercom's developer summer camps in 2021 and 2022.

What we can cover (you pick):
- Linux fundamentals: shell, files and permissions, users, processes, services, logs, package managers
- Linux for security: what attackers and defenders actually look at on a box
- How computers work: boot, CPU and memory, processes and threads, syscalls, file systems
- Your first TryHackMe / Hack The Box machines, coached step by step (legal platforms only)
- Privacy basics: threat modelling, passwords and 2FA, what a VPN does and doesn't do
- "I'm stuck on this uni topic": concepts explained, not answers handed over

How lessons work:
1. You tell me what you want to understand or what you're stuck on.
2. We share a screen and you drive. I ask questions, point and explain. I only take the keyboard to show something, then hand it back.
3. After the lesson you get a written recap: what we covered, commands, links and one small task for next time.

I won't do graded homework for you. I'll make sure you understand it well enough to do it yourself.

Good fit for: cybersecurity and CS students, self-taught people moving into security who keep hitting gaps in the basics, and developers who want to stop being scared of the terminal.

Send me a message with what you're working on and we'll plan your first lesson around it.

Extra information

Online via video call with screen sharing. Have a computer ready: Linux, macOS, or Windows with WSL or a free VirtualBox VM. Not sure how to set it up? We'll do it together in the first lesson.

Topics include:
Propositional and Predicate Logic
Syntax and semantics
Natural deduction
Semantic tableaux
Correctness and soundness
Completeness

Formal languages and automata
A formal language is an abstraction of general characteristics of programming languages. Such a languages consists of a set of symbols together with some rules to determine whether a string made up out of those symbols is a member of the language.

Topics include:
Regular languages, context-free languages
Finite automata, pushdown automata, Turing machines
Regular expressions
Regular grammar, context-sensitive grammar
Pumping lemmas for regular and context-free languages

Objective: To understand AI without fear, to use it to simplify one's life, to know how to identify digital traps, and to use Word, Excel, etc. without difficulty.

1: Demystifying AI (What exactly is it?)
AI is not a movie robot: Difference between fiction and reality.

How it works (simply): The image of the "giant library": AI has read billions of books and uses them to predict the continuation of a sentence or create an image.

Where is it already present? Spell checkers, Netflix/YouTube suggestions, GPS, and voice assistants (Siri/Alexa).

2: Using AI to make life easier
Conversing with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini):

Ask him to write an administrative email or a complex letter.

Summarize a long newspaper article or document.

Plan a travel itinerary or find recipe ideas with what's left in the fridge.

AI for creativity and memory:

Generate images to illustrate a birthday card (Midjourney, DALL-E).

Using AI to restore or colorize old family photos.

3: Learning to "talk" to AI (The Art of the Prompt)
The context method: Why "Give me a cake recipe" is less effective than "I am allergic to gluten and I am hosting 4 people, give me a simple chocolate cake recipe".

The expert's role: Learning to tell AI "Act like a travel guide" or "Act like an expert gardener".

4: Precautions and Critical Thinking (The Survival Guide)
"Hallucinations": Understand that AI can make false claims with complete certainty (never take medical or legal advice from AI without verification).

Privacy protection:

Never give sensitive data (social security number, passwords, bank details) to an AI.

Knowing that everything we write to the AI is potentially used to train it.

Spotting "Deepfakes":

How to recognize a doctored image or video (details on the hands, strange reflections, slightly metallic voice).

Verify the information: the golden rule of cross-referencing sources.

5: Ethics and Impacts (To go further)
Copyright: Who owns an image created by AI?

The environmental impact: The water and energy consumption of AI servers.

The future: Will AI replace us or assist us?

I'm a cybersecurity engineer with 150+ penetration tests and vulnerability assessments for government, financial, and telecom organizations. I hold CRTP, eWPT, and eJPT certifications, and I'll teach you the same methodology I use on real engagements. No boring theory dumps, just live, hands-on practice.

You'll learn:

The pentesting process: scoping, recon, scanning, exploitation, and reporting
Network and web application testing basics
Common vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and broken authentication
Core tools: Nmap, Burp Suite, Nessus, Metasploit, and Wireshark
How to document findings and write reports that clients actually act on
How to build a home lab and keep practicing on your own

Perfect for: beginners, students, career changers, developers, IT staff, and anyone preparing for eJPT, PNPT, OSCP, or CEH.

You'll walk away with a clear pentesting workflow, real hands-on skills, and a solid roadmap for a career in offensive security.

Basic computer skills are enough, and networking knowledge is a plus. Book your first session and let's start hacking (ethically)!
