Course Software Utilized: We make extensive use of virtualization tools for i386 systems. This includes software such as VirtualBox or VMware Workstation.
Students who plan to use their own systems must ensure they have access to an i386-compatible machine. Most modern Apple devices with M1, M2, or M3 chips are not compatible. Alternatively, students can access our virtualization lab remotely.
This course also makes use of Cisco's Packet Tracer simulation tool.
