Checking Network Connection

It is key to understand what network you are connected to before performing any kind of testing; we need to ensure we are access to the relevant targets.

The first step to that is looking at what IP address we have and what adapter holds the IP:

ip a

The command "ip a" will allow for more modern Unix/Linux OS's to display all adapters and their network connections available. Running the command will allow us to see our own IP address and see details of the network we are attached to.
