An assessment is a short sequence of steps, and each one depends on the one before it. This set checks that you know what each phase is for and that you can run the first one on your own device.
Each one is marked as you go, and the explanation arrives straight after, which is
the part worth reading.
4 questions, marked as you go.
Tasks
These need your own device. Run the command in Termux, then paste what it printed.
The marking looks at what the output means, so spacing, version numbers and
ordering do not matter. If you have not installed anything yet, the
lesson covers the setup.
Record the scope of your assessment
This prints the name of your device, your user id and groups, and the kernel name, release and machine type. It is the scope line of an assessment: what you are looking at, and as whom. Paste the three lines it prints.
Run this in Termux
On your own device. Nothing on this page executes it. The command runs in
your terminal, and this box only reads what you paste back.
hostname; id; uname -srm
The id line is the one to read first. If it does not say root, you are an ordinary app user, which is what this track assumes.
your user id is printed, and it is a number
the kernel name and release are printed
the device name, the id and the kernel are all there
the commands actually ran
What a good answer looks like
Three lines. The first is your device name, which on a phone is often localhost. The second begins uid= and gives your user id and groups, and the id is a normal app id rather than 0, so you are not root. The third begins with Linux and ends with the machine type, aarch64 on most phones. Together these are the first phase of an assessment: the scope, recorded as a fact rather than assumed. Your own values will differ from anyone else's, and that is expected.
Marking your own work
Both halves of this are checked in your browser, with no server involved, so nothing
stops you from pasting output you did not run. The tasks are written so that the
easiest way to pass one is to actually do it and read the result, which is the whole
intention.
