Practice Verified Codes and Commands
1. Nmap Scan for Network Discovery
nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24
This command performs a ping scan to discover live hosts on the network.
2. Metasploit Framework for Vulnerability Exploitation
msfconsole use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue set RHOSTS 192.168.1.10 exploit
This example demonstrates how to use Metasploit to exploit the EternalBlue vulnerability.
3. Wireshark for Packet Analysis
wireshark
Open Wireshark to capture and analyze network traffic in real-time.
4. John the Ripper for Password Cracking
john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hashes.txt
Use John the Ripper to crack passwords using a wordlist.
5. Linux Firewall Configuration with UFW
sudo ufw enable sudo ufw allow 22/tcp sudo ufw status
Enable and configure the Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW) on a Linux system.
6. Windows Command for Network Configuration
[cmd]
ipconfig /all
[/cmd]
Display detailed network configuration information on a Windows system.
7. Bash Script for Log Monitoring
#!/bin/bash tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep "Failed password"
Monitor system logs for failed login attempts.
8. Python Script for Port Scanning
import socket
for port in range(1, 1025):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
result = sock.connect_ex(('192.168.1.1', port))
if result == 0:
print(f"Port {port} is open")
sock.close()
A simple Python script to scan for open ports on a target IP.
What Undercode Say
Cybersecurity is a dynamic field that requires continuous learning and hands-on practice. The 90-day study plan provides a structured approach to mastering essential skills, from network security to ethical hacking. Tools like Nmap, Metasploit, and Wireshark are indispensable for penetration testers and security analysts. On Linux, commands like `ufw` and `tail` help secure and monitor systems, while Windows commands like `ipconfig` are crucial for network troubleshooting. Python scripting enhances automation, making tasks like port scanning more efficient. Always ensure ethical use of these tools and commands, adhering to legal guidelines. For further learning, explore resources like Cybrary and OWASP. Remember, cybersecurity is not just about tools but also about understanding the mindset of attackers and defenders. Stay curious, keep practicing, and contribute to making the digital world safer.
