Essential Cybersecurity Commands & Tools
Linux Security Commands
- Check for open ports:
sudo netstat -tulnp
- Monitor suspicious processes:
top | grep -i "suspicious_process"
- Analyze logs for brute-force attempts:
grep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log
Windows Security Commands
- Check active network connections:
netstat -ano
- List scheduled tasks (common malware persistence):
schtasks /query /fo LIST
- Scan for malware using Windows Defender:
Start-MpScan -ScanType FullScan
Incident Response Steps
- Isolate the affected system to prevent lateral movement.
2. Capture memory & logs for forensic analysis:
volatility -f memory.dump --profile=Win10x64 pslist
3. Reset compromised credentials and enforce MFA.
4. Patch vulnerable systems immediately.
