Linux Command Line for Hackers

What you'll learn

Almost every offensive engagement runs through a Linux shell at some point. In this Edge you'll build the core command-line muscle memory every red teamer needs:

• Navigating the filesystem (pwd, ls, cd) and the difference between absolute and relative paths
• Reading and searching files with cat, less, head, tail, grep, and find
• Reading and changing Linux permissions and ownership (rwx, octal, chmod, chown) and why SUID matters
• Chaining find and grep together to locate credentials and secrets on a target

Prerequisites

None. This is an absolute-beginner Edge — just a willingness to type commands. A lab to practice in is attached in a later phase; for now, read carefully and answer from the lesson.
