You Should Know: Essential Cybersecurity Commands & Practices
Linux Security Commands
1. Check Running Processes:
ps aux | grep "suspicious_process"
2. Analyze Network Connections:
netstat -tulnp
3. Monitor Logs in Real-Time:
tail -f /var/log/syslog
4. Scan for Open Ports:
nmap -sV target_ip
5. Check File Integrity (Hashing):
sha256sum suspicious_file
Windows Security Commands
1. List Active Network Connections:
netstat -ano
2. Check Scheduled Tasks (Malware Persistence):
schtasks /query /fo LIST /v
3. Analyze Event Logs:
Get-WinEvent -LogName Security | Where-Object {$_.ID -eq 4624}
4. Scan for Malicious Files:
Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Recurse -Force | Where-Object { $_.Extension -eq ".exe" } | Select-Object FullName
SOC Workflow: Practical Steps
1. Incident Triage:
- Use `grep` to filter logs:
grep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log
2. Memory Forensics (Volatility):
volatility -f memory_dump.raw pslist
3. SIEM Queries (Splunk Example):
index=main sourcetype=firewall action=blocked | stats count by src_ip
What Undercode Say
Cybersecurity is not just about tools—it’s about mindset. A strong analyst understands both offensive and defensive techniques. Regular practice with tools like Wireshark, Metasploit, and YARA rules sharpens skills. Automation (Bash/Python scripting) is key in SOC environments.
Expected Output:
- Enhanced log analysis skills.
- Faster incident response using CLI tools.
- Improved threat-hunting capabilities.
