If you hope to outmaneuver threat actors, speed and efficiency need to be key components of your cybersecurity operations. Mastery of the standard command line interface (CLI) is an invaluable skill in times of crisis because no other software application can match the CLI’s availability, flexibility, and agility. This practical guide shows you how to use the CLI with the bash shell to perform tasks such as data collection and analysis, intrusion detection, reverse engineering, and administration. Authors Paul Troncone, founder of Digadel Corporation, and Carl Albing, coauthor of bash Cookbook (O’Reilly), provide insight into command line tools and techniques to help defensive operators collect data, analyze logs, and monitor networks. Penetration testers will learn how to leverage the enormous amount of functionality built into every version of Linux to enable offensive operations. With this book, security practitioners, administrators, and students will learn how to: Collect and analyze data, including system logs Search for and through files Detect network and host changes Develop a remote access toolkit Format output for reporting Develop scripts to automate tasks

Shell scripts are everywhere, especially those written in bash-compatible syntax. But these scripts can be complex and obscure. Complexity is the enemy of security, but it''s also the enemy of readability and understanding. With this practical book, you''ll learn how to decipher old bash code and write new code that''s as clear and readable as possible.

Authors Carl Albing and JP Vossen show you how to use the power and flexibility of the shell to your advantage. You may know enough bash to get by, but this book will take your skills from manageable to magnificent. Whether you use Linux, Unix, Windows, or a Mac, you''ll learn how to read and write scripts like an expert. Your future you will thank you.

You''ll explore the clear idioms to use and obscure ones to avoid, so that you can:

Write useful, flexible, and readable bash code with styleDecode bash code such as ${MAKEMELC,,} and ${PATHNAME##*/}Save time and ensure consistency when automating tasksDiscover how bash idioms can make your code clean and concise
