About the Linux Test

This assessment simulates the challenges administrators and engineers face daily in Linux environments. From working with the file system to scripting automation and managing network services, each question tests both foundational skills and advanced problem-solving.

You’ll be evaluated across five core areas:

  • File System & Command Line Fu
    Demonstrate mastery of navigating, managing, and manipulating files and directories using essential commands and permissions.

  • Process & System Management
    Manage processes, services, and system resources, including scheduling jobs, monitoring performance, and handling logs.

  • Networking & Security
    Configure network interfaces, firewall rules, SSH access, and apply security practices to protect Linux systems.

  • Scripting & Automation
    Write shell scripts to automate administrative tasks, use cron jobs, and leverage scripting for repeatable operations.

  • Software & Package Management
    Install, update, and manage software packages using tools like apt, yum, or dnf while ensuring dependency resolution and version control.

This is where efficiency meets reliability — proving your ability to handle Linux in production-grade environments.
