Determine the Security Setup of a Linux Server
When working with existing infrastructure, we won't have always been the one to provision the instances with which we need to work — we might not even know the underlying OS, depending on the information we're given. As such, we need to be able to determine information about a server's security setup, using nothing but the server itself. In this lab, we'll do just that, looking for firewall and access control settings.
