himanshusharma20/linux-for-a-pentesterPractical Penetration Testing Notes.
"Theory is great, but the shell is where the magic happens." This repository is a curated collection of Linux command notes built from real-world labs, CTFs, and hands-on practice. No fluff, just the raw commands and practical notes needed for a Pentester.
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| 00-General-Commands | Essential survival commands for daily usage. |
| 01-Recon | Local and network reconnaissance phase. |
| 02-Enumeration | Deep-diving into services and user data. |
| 03-Exploitation | Shells, file uploads, and getting that initial footfold. |
| 04-Privilege-Escalation | Climbing the ladder to Root. |
| 05-Post-Exploitation | Persistence, cleanup, and lateral movement. |
| Cheatsheets | Fast-access one-liners for quick lookups. |
These notes are designed to be used as a reference during active testing. If you are on a system and forget the specific flag for ss or how to abuse a cron job, just navigate to the relevant directory.
