# Unit 9 Lab Part 1 Write-up
:::warning
**Make sure to complete Project/Assignment 9 first** (since it's graded)

<a href="https://courses.codepath.com/courses/cyb102/unit/9#!project">Link to Project/Assignment 9</a>
:::
A lot of the <a href="https://courses.codepath.com/courses/cyb102/unit/9#!lab" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank"> Lab Part 1 challenges </a> can be completed by using google search on your own. Completing these challenges will improve your networking knowledge and research skills. I've included a few descriptions/tips that can help w/ running some of the tools.

Reading is great! But, using the tools will increase learning (It's also pretty fun).

:::success
As per the lab instructions, if using **Windows can use a Kali VM**. If you don't want to do that, can install all the tools (just takes more time/troubleshooting).

# Milestone 0: Networking Toolbox

## Getting started with `ping`

When running ping you can run `ping <domain name or ip>` without `-c` but you'll have to end using `ctrl C` or it will keep running. By adding `-c 5` you only ping 5 times.

> -c <count> | stop after <count> replies

ping -c 5 codepath.org


:::success
The IP address for `codepath.org (domain name)` is `199.60.103.158`

You can answer the remaining ping challenge questions yourself. Have fun!
:::

### More fun:
Here are some commands that can help answer challenge questions.
:::info
If any of them keep running can stop them with `CTRL + c` or `CTRL + z`
:::
### `nslookup`
Run the following

nslookup codepath.org

### `traceroute`

Run the following

traceroute codepath.org

Then, run the following

traceroute google.com

Compare output ^^^

### telnet
Run the following

telnet codepath.org

:::success
**Milestones 1-7**
These labs have great steps.
Side Note: The WIFI/Wireshark challenges are super fun.
