What to notice while you play.

Objective

Inspect identity and boundaries before using admin commands.

Hint

Run whoami, id, ufw status, and fake sudo status.

Why it matters

Security work starts by confirming who you are and what you can affect.

Common mistakes
  • Assuming sudo means unlimited access.
  • Changing rules before reading current state.
