Starting Chapter 7 I’m starting Chapter 7 on Mastering Linux Administration, and this is where things begin to feel different. Up to this point, working in Linux feels contained.

Before you start yelling “firewall” in every IT conversation or try to hack your own Wi-Fi router (again), do yourself —
Alright, let me tell you about Chapter 2 like I lived it—because I did—and wow, this one was like taking a sip from the networking firehose. First off, we kicked it old-school with some Cold War drama—turns out TCP/IP was basically born because the DoD wanted to make sure their messages could still go through if, you know, everything exploded.
