Operating Systems for Defenders

Operating Systems for Defenders introduces the Windows and Linux internals most relevant to entry-level defensive work. It is not a complete system-administration or development course; it presents a defender's view of how operating systems organize processes, identities, files, and logs so you can interpret evidence, recognize potentially abnormal behavior, and reason about compromised endpoints.
