Cybersecurity Ops with bash: Attack, Defend, and Analyze from the Command Line
Paul Troncone, Carl AlbingAuthors 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 nearly every version of Linux to enable offensive operations.
In four parts, security practitioners, administrators, and students will examine:
• Foundations: Principles of defense and offense, command-line and bash basics, and regular expressions
• Defensive security operations: Data collection and analysis, real-time log monitoring, and malware analysis
• Penetration testing: Script obfuscation and tools for command-line fuzzing and remote access
• Security administration: Users, groups, and permissions; device and software inventory
