You Should Know: Essential Commands & Tools for VAPT
1. Nmap (Network Scanning)
nmap -sV -A target.com Version detection & aggressive scan nmap -p 1-1000 target.com Scan specific ports nmap --script vuln target.com Check for known vulnerabilities
2. Metasploit (Exploitation Framework)
msfconsole Launch Metasploit use exploit/multi/handler Set up a listener set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp exploit
3. Burp Suite (Web App Testing)
- Intercept HTTP requests.
- Use Intruder for brute-force attacks.
4. SQL Injection Testing with SQLmap
sqlmap -u "http://test.com/login?id=1" --dbs Extract databases sqlmap -u "http://test.com/login?id=1" --dump Dump table data
5. Linux Privilege Escalation
find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null Find SUID files sudo -l Check sudo permissions
6. Windows Command for Security Audits
whoami /priv Check user privileges net user hacker /add Add a new user (if admin)
What Undercode Say:
Penetration testing is not just about tools—it’s about methodology. Always:
– Get permission before testing.
– Use Kali Linux (pre-installed tools).
– Learn Bash/Python scripting for automation.
– Practice on HTB (Hack The Box) or TryHackMe.
Expected Output:
A structured learning path with hands-on practice in Nmap, Metasploit, Burp Suite, and SQLmap will make you job-ready in VAPT. Start today! 🚀
