In this project, I continued to learn about IP addresses while practicing manipulating them with Bash scripts.

• 0. Change your home IP

  • 0-change_your_home_IP: Bash script that configures an Ubuntu server as follows:
  • localhost resolves to 127.0.0.2
  • facebook.com resolves to 8.8.8.8

• 1. Show attached IPs

  • 1-show_attached_IPs: Bash script that displays all active IPv4 IP's on the machine.

• 2. Port listening on localhost

  • 100-port_listening_on_localhost: Bash script that listens on port 98 on localhost.

What you should learn from this project:

• What is localhost/127.0.0.1
• What is 0.0.0.0
• What is /etc/hosts
• How to display your machine’s active network interfaces

• What is localhost?

• What is 0.0.0.0?

• Write a Bash script that configures an Ubuntu server.

• Write a Bash script that displays all active IPv4 IPs on the machine it’s executed on.

• Write a Bash script that listens on port 98 on localhost.
