About Bash-101

Bash is the command language interpreter or shell script interpreter for the GNU operating system. Every pentester that uses Linux, usually uses Bash. This guide is here to show you some of the basics of how to make Linux do what you want it to do.

With this you will be able to:

  • Write and read Bash scripts
  • Use the Linux terminal/command line
  • Perform pentesting such as MiTM, sniffing and Wifi hacks
  • And so much more

Batch file installation

This script installs all most of the essential applications in a semi-automated manner. Here are the steps to making this script work on your Linux computer:

  • Create a file named "install_all.sh"
  • Open that file, then copy the code below and paste it into that file.
  • Save the file, then open up a terminal in the same place the file is in. You should be able to see the file if you type "ls" from within the console.
  • Now type "chmod u+x". This will make the file executable.
  • Next, place this file in the "/bin" directory.
  • Lastly, type install_all.sh in your terminal.

Essential Linux Programs

  • Nmap ("Network Mapper") is an open source tool for network exploration and security auditing. It was designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts. Nmap uses raw IP packets in novel ways to determine what hosts are available on the network, what services (application name and version) those hosts are offering, what operating systems (and OS versions) they are running, what type of packet filters/firewalls are in use, and dozens of other characteristics. While Nmap is commonly used for security audits, many systems and network administrators find it useful for routine tasks such as network inventory, managing service upgrade schedules, and monitoring host or service uptime.

  • netdiscover is an active/passive arp reconnaissance tool, initially developed to gain information about wireless networks without dhcp servers in wardriving scenarios. It can also be used on switched net‐ works. Built on top of libnet and libpcap, it can passively detect online hosts or search for them by sending arp requests. Furthermore, it can be used to inspect your network's arp traffic, or find network addresses using auto scan mode, which will scan for common local networks.

  • ip - show / manipulate routing, devices, policy routing and tunnel

  • p0f uses a fingerprinting technique based on analyzing the structure of a TCP/IP packet to determine the operating system and other configura‐ tion properties of a remote host. The process is completely passive and does not generate any suspicious network traffic. The other host has to either

  • ettercap was born as a sniffer for switched LAN (and obviously even "hubbed" ones), but during the development process it has gained more and more features that have changed it to a powerful and flexible tool for man-in-the-middle attacks. It supports active and passive dissec‐ tion of many protocols (even ciphered ones) and includes many features for network and host analysis (such as OS fingerprint).

  • nbtscan is a program for scanning IP networks for NetBIOS name informa‐ tion. It sends NetBIOS status query to each address in supplied range and lists received information in human readable form. For each responded host it lists IP address, NetBIOS computer name, logged-in user name and MAC address (such as Ethernet).

  • dsniff dsniff is a password sniffer which handles FTP, Telnet, SMTP, HTTP, POP, poppass, NNTP, IMAP, SNMP, LDAP, Rlogin, RIP, OSPF, PPTP MS-CHAP, NFS, VRRP, YP/NIS, SOCKS, X11, CVS, IRC, AIM, ICQ, Napster, PostgreSQL, Meeting Maker, Citrix ICA, Symantec pcAnywhere, NAI Sniffer, Microsoft SMB, Oracle SQL*Net, Sybase and Microsoft SQL protocols.

  • etherApe is a network traffic browser. It displays network activity graphically. It uses GNOME libraries as its user interface, and libp‐ cap, a packet capture and filtering library.

  • reaver implements a brute force attack against WiFi Protected Setup which can crack the WPS pin of an access point in a matter of hours and subsequently recover the WPA/WPA2 passphrase. Specifically, reaver targets the registrar functionality of WPS, which is flawed in that it only takes 11,000 attempts to guess the correct WPS pin in order to become a WPS registrar. Once registred as a regis‐ trar with the access point, the access point will give you the WPA passphrase.

  • arp manipulates or displays the kernel's IPv4 network neighbour cache. It can add entries to the table, delete one or display the current con‐ tent. ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol, which is used to find the media access control address of a network neighbour for a given IPv4 Address.

  • wpa_supplicant is an implementation of the WPA Supplicant component, i.e., the part that runs in the client stations. It implements WPA key negotiation with a WPA Authenticator and EAP authentication with Authentication Server. In addition, it controls the roaming and IEEE 802.11 authentication/association of the wireless LAN driver. wpa_supplicant is designed to be a "daemon" program that runs in the background and acts as the backend component controlling the wireless connection. wpa_supplicant supports separate frontend programs and an example text-based frontend, wpa_cli, is included with wpa_supplicant.

  • macchanger is a GNU/Linux utility for viewing/manipulating the MAC address for network interfaces.

  • nikto examines a web server to find potential problems and security vulnerabilities, including:

    ·   Server and software misconfigurations

·   Default files and programs

·   Insecure files and programs

·   Outdated servers and programs

Nikto is built on LibWhisker (by RFP) and can run on any platform which has a Perl environment. It supports SSL, proxies, host authentication, IDS evasion and more. It can be updated automatically from the command-line, and supports the optional submission of updated version data back to the maintainers.

  • aircrack-ng is an 802.11 WEP and WPA/WPA2-PSK key cracking program. It can recover the WEP key once enough encrypted packets have been cap‐ tured with airodump-ng. This part of the aircrack-ng suite determines the WEP key using two fundamental methods. The first method is via the PTW approach (Pyshkin, Tews, Weinmann). The main advantage of the PTW approach is that very few data packets are required to crack the WEP key. The second method is the FMS/KoreK method. The FMS/KoreK method incorporates various statistical attacks to discover the WEP key and uses these in combination with brute forcing. Additionally, the program offers a dictionary method for determining the WEP key. For cracking WPA/WPA2 pre-shared keys, a wordlist (file or stdin) or an airolib-ng has to be used.

  • ssh (SSH client) is a program for logging into a remote machine and for executing commands on a remote machine. It is intended to provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections, arbitrary TCP ports and UNIX-domain sockets can also be forwarded over the secure channel.

  • ftp — Internet file transfer program

  • telnet is used for interactive communication with another host using the TELNET protocol. It begins in command mode, where it prints a telnet prompt ("telnet> "). If telnet is invoked with a host argument, it performs an open command implicitly; see the description below.

  • iprange - manage IP ranges

  • net utility is meant to work just like the net utility available for windows and DOS. The first argument should be used to specify the protocol to use when executing a certain command. ADS is used for ActiveDirectory, RAP is using for old (Win9x/NT3) clients and RPC can be used for NT4 and Windows 2000. If this argument is omitted, net will try to determine it automatically. Not all commands are available on all protocols.

  • less is a program similar to more (1), but it has many more features. Less does not have to read the entire input file before starting, so with large input files it starts up faster than text editors like vi (1). Less uses termcap (or terminfo on some systems), so it can run on a variety of terminals. There is even limited support for hardcopy terminals. (On a hardcopy terminal, lines which should be printed at the top of the screen are prefixed with a caret.)

  • sha256sum - computs, print and check SHA256 message digests.

  • xterm is a terminal emulator for the X Window System. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and selected features from higher-level termi‐ nals such as VT320/VT420/VT520 (VTxxx). It also provides Tektronix 4014 emulation for programs that cannot use the window system directly. If the underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabili‐ ties (for example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3BSD), xterm will use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is resized.

  • ps displays information about a selection of the active processes. If you want a repetitive update of the selection and the displayed information, use top instead.

  • htop is a free (GPL) ncurses-based process viewer for Linux. It is similar to top, but allows you to scroll vertically and horizon‐ tally, so you can see all the processes running on the system, along with their full command lines, as well as viewing them as a process tree, selecting multiple processes and acting on them all at once. Tasks related to processes (killing, renicing) can be done without entering their PIDs.

  • dpkg - package manager for Debian

  • synaptic is a frontend for the apt package managent system. It allows you to perform all actions of the command line tool apt-get in a graph‐ ical environemnt. This includes installing, upgrading, downgrading and removing of single packages or even upgrading your whole system. A manual with detailed instructions can be found in the help menu of Synaptic.

  • apt provides a high-level commandline interface for the package management system. It is intended as an end user interface and enables some options better suited for interactive usage by default compared to more specialized APT tools like apt-get(8) and apt-cache(8).

  • yum is an interactive, rpm based, package manager. It can automatically perform system updates, including dependency analysis and obsolete pro‐ cessing based on "repository" metadata. It can also perform installa‐ tion of new packages, removal of old packages and perform queries on the installed and/or available packages among many other commands/ser‐ vices (see below). yum is similar to other high level package managers like apt-get and smart.

  • git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

  • wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies.

  • nano is a small, free and friendly editor which aims to replace Pico, the default editor included in the non-free Pine package. On top of copying Pico's look and feel, nano also implements some missing (or disabled by default) features in Pico, such as "search and replace" and "go to line and column number".

  • logkeys is a linux keylogger. It is no more advanced than other avail‐ able linux keyloggers, notably lkl and uberkey, but is a bit newer, more up to date, it doesn't unreliably repeat keys and it shouldn't crash your X. All in all, it just seems to work. It relies on the event interface of Linux input subsystem (normally devices /dev/input/eventX).

  • ls (list) information about the FILEs (the current directory by default). Sort entries alphabetically if none of -cftuvSUX nor --sort is speci‐ fied.

  • find - search for files in a directory hierarchy

  • firehol - an easy to use but powerful iptables stateful firewall

  • ufw is for managing a Linux firewall and aims to provide an easy to use interface for the user.

  • denyHosts is a python program that automatically blocks ssh attacks by adding entries to /etc/hosts.deny. DenyHosts will also inform system administrators about offending hosts, attacked users and suspicious logins.

  • chkrootkit examines certain elements of the target system and deter‐ mines whether they have been tampered with. Some tools which chkrootkit applies while analyzing binaries and log files can be found at /usr/lib/chkrootkit.

  • rkhunter is a shell script which carries out various checks on the local system to try and detect known rootkits and malware. It also per‐ forms checks to see if commands have been modified, if the system startup files have been modified, and various checks on the network interfaces, including checks for listening applications. rkhunter has been written to be as generic as possible, and so should run on most Linux and UNIX systems. It is provided with some support scripts should certain commands be missing from the system, and some of these are perl scripts. rkhunter does require certain commands to be present for it to be able to execute. Additionally, some tests require specific commands, but if these are not present then the test will be skipped. rkhunter needs to be run under a Bourne-type shell, typically bash or ksh. rkhunter can be run as a cron job or from the com‐ mand-line.

  • tiger is a package consisting of Bourne Shell scripts, C code and data files which is used for checking for security problems on a UNIX sys‐ tem. It scans system configuration files, file systems, and user con‐ figuration files for possible security problems and reports them. The command tigexp(8) can be used to obtain explanations of the problems reported by tiger.

  • lynis is a security auditing tool for Linux and Unix systems. It checks the system and software configurations, to determine any improvements. All details are logged in a log file. Findings and other data is stored in a report file, which can be used to create auditing reports. Lynis can be run as a cronjob, or from the command line. Lynis prefers root permissions (or sudo), so it can access all parts of the system, how‐ ever it not required (see pentest mode).

  • xtrlock locks the X server till the user enters their password at the keyboard. While xtrlock is running, the mouse and keyboard are grabbed and the mouse cursor becomes a padlock. Output displayed by X programs, and windows put up by new X clients, continue to be visible, and any new output is displayed normally. The mouse and keyboard are returned when the user types their password, followed by Enter or Newline. If an incorrect password is entered the bell is sounded. Pressing Backspace or Delete erases one character of a password partially typed; pressing Escape or Clear clears anything that has been entered. If too many attempts are made in too short a time further keystrokes generate bells and are otherwise ignored until a timeout has expired. The X server screen saver continues to operate normally; if it comes into operation the display may be restored by the usual means of touch‐ ing a key (Shift, for example) or the mouse.

  • away is a simple program that locks your terminal, checks for new mail in any given number of mailboxes, and lets other users know why you are inactive.

  • psswd is a program for changing your linux password

  • pwd

    • prints the full filename of the current working directory.
    • Import and save files from GitHub, Dropbox, Google Drive and One Drive
    • Drag and drop markdown and HTML files into Dillinger
    • Export documents as Markdown, HTML and PDF
