You Should Know: Essential Cybersecurity Commands & Tools

Linux Commands for Ethical Hackers

• Network Scanning:

  nmap -sV -A target.com 
  

• Packet Capture:

  tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap 
  

• Password Cracking (John the Ripper):

  john --format=sha512 hashes.txt 
  

• Web Vulnerability Scanning (Nikto):

  nikto -h http://target.com 
  

• Metasploit Framework:

  msfconsole 
  use exploit/multi/handler 
  set payload windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp 
  exploit 
  

Windows Security Commands

• Check Open Ports:

  netstat -ano 
  

• Firewall Rules:

  netsh advfirewall show allprofiles 
  

• Check Running Processes:

  tasklist /svc 
  

• Disable Suspicious Services:

  sc stop "MaliciousService" 
  sc delete "MaliciousService" 
  

Bug Bounty & Web App Testing

• SQL Injection Test:

  sqlmap -u "http://target.com/login?id=1" --dbs 
  

• XSS Testing (with Burp Suite):

  <script>alert(1)</script> 
  

• Directory Bruteforcing (Dirb):

What Undercode Say

YouTube is a great supplement, but hands-on practice is crucial. Use platforms like HackTheBox, TryHackMe, and LetsDefend for real-world simulations. Combine video learning with:
– Reverse Engineering (Ghidra, Radare2)
– Scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell)
– OSINT Tools (Maltego, theHarvester)
– Cloud Security (AWS CLI, Azure Security Center)

For those serious about cybersecurity, certifications like OSCP, CISSP, and CEH provide structured learning.

Prediction

As cyber threats evolve, AI-driven security tools and zero-trust architectures will dominate. Expect more automated penetration testing and AI-powered malware detection in the next 5 years.

Expected Output:

A structured guide with actionable commands, tools, and predictions for cybersecurity learners.
