You Should Know:

Linux Commands for Cybersecurity:

1. Network Scanning with Nmap:

nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 

This command scans the network for active devices.

2. Packet Capture with TCPdump:

tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap 

Captures network traffic on interface `eth0` and saves it to capture.pcap.

3. File Integrity Check with SHA256:

sha256sum file.txt 

Generates a SHA256 checksum for `file.txt` to verify its integrity.

4. Firewall Management with UFW:

sudo ufw allow 22/tcp 

Allows SSH traffic on port 22.

5. Log Analysis with Grep:

grep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log 

Searches for failed login attempts in the auth log.

Windows Commands for Cybersecurity:

1. Check Open Ports with Netstat:

[cmd]
netstat -an
[/cmd]

Displays all active connections and listening ports.

2. Firewall Configuration with Netsh:

[cmd]
netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state on
[/cmd]

Enables the firewall for all profiles.

3. System Information with Systeminfo:

[cmd]
systeminfo
[/cmd]

Displays detailed system information.

4. Check for Suspicious Processes with Tasklist:

[cmd]
tasklist /svc
[/cmd]

Lists all running processes and their associated services.

5. Network Configuration with Ipconfig:

[cmd]
ipconfig /all
[/cmd]

Displays detailed network configuration information.
