TrainSec Tiny Masterclass

Linux Internals Fundamentals for Windows Professionals

Learn Linux from the man who wrote the book on Windows internals. In this live 4 hour masterclass, Pavel Yosifovich maps your Windows knowledge onto Linux: processes, virtual memory, files, boot, and the tracing toolbox, in four modules with guided hands-on labs. You leave with a Windows-to-Linux cheat sheet and the recording. Every registrant gets a $59 TrainSec course voucher.

In this live masterclass, Pavel Yosifovich, co-author of Windows Internals, 7th Edition and one of the world’s foremost experts on Windows internals, maps the operating system knowledge you already have straight onto Linux. Four short modules, each a Windows-to-Linux mapping followed by a guided hands-on lab you run in your own environment. You leave with a Windows-to-Ubuntu cheat sheet, your own lab environment full of commands to keep exploring, and lifetime access to the recording.

Target audience:

Built specifically for people with a Windows background. No prior Linux experience required. Designed for:

  • Windows developers and systems engineers
  • Security researchers and malware analysts whose work is going cross-platform
  • Driver and kernel engineers
  • Anyone fluent in Windows internals who keeps postponing Linux

I've spent the last 25 years inside Windows: writing about it, teaching it, and taking it apart. At some point, everyone doing serious systems or security work runs into Linux, and the usual advice is to start over with a beginner course. That, I think, is a waste of your time. You already understand processes, virtual memory, and debuggers; Linux has the same ideas under different names, plus a handful of genuine differences that actually matter. The approach is simple: relabel, don't relearn.
