You Should Know: Essential Cybersecurity Commands and Tools

1. Network Scanning with Nmap

nmap -sV -A target_ip 
nmap -p 1-1000 --script vuln target_ip 

-sV: Service version detection
-A: Aggressive scan (OS detection, script scanning)

2. Packet Analysis with Tcpdump

tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap 
tcpdump -r capture.pcap 'port 80' 

– Captures traffic on `eth0` and filters HTTP traffic.

3. Password Cracking with Hashcat

hashcat -m 1000 hashes.txt rockyou.txt 

-m 1000: NTLM hash mode
rockyou.txt: Common password wordlist

4. Web Vulnerability Scanning with Nikto

nikto -h https://target_site.com 

– Scans for outdated servers, misconfigurations, and common vulnerabilities.

5. Metasploit Framework Basics

msfconsole 
use exploit/multi/handler 
set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp 
set LHOST your_ip 
set LPORT 4444 
exploit 

– Sets up a reverse shell listener.

6. Linux Privilege Escalation Checks

linpeas.sh 
sudo -l 
find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null 

– Checks for SUID binaries and sudo permissions.

7. Windows Security Auditing

Get-LocalUser | Select Name, Enabled 
Get-NetTCPConnection -State Listen 

– Lists active users and listening ports.

8. Log Analysis with Grep

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

– Finds failed SSH login attempts.

9. Firewall Hardening with UFW (Linux)

ufw enable 
ufw deny 23/tcp 

– Blocks Telnet port (23).

10. Secure File Transfer with SCP

scp file.txt user@remote_host:/path/ 

– Encrypted file transfer.

What Undercode Say

Cybersecurity requires constant learning. Always verify tools from trusted sources before use. Automation (like scripting) enhances efficiency, but manual analysis is irreplaceable.

Expected Output:

  • Nmap scan results
  • Hashcat cracked passwords
  • Metasploit session logs
  • LinPEAS privilege escalation findings

Prediction

Increased AI-driven attacks will demand advanced defensive scripting and anomaly detection.
