Course 16 - Red Team Ethical Hacking Beginner Course | Episode 2: Essential Command Line Administration: Linux, Windows, Account Management
In this lesson, you’ll learn about:
Essential Linux command-line administration basics
Core Windows command-line networking and system commands
How to navigate, inspect, and manage files on both platforms
Practical Windows domain user and group management
Why command-line proficiency is critical for security professionals
Overview This lesson provides a foundational overview of essential command-line administration techniques used in both Linux and Windows environments. These skills are fundamental for cybersecurity professionals, system administrators, and red team members, as many security operations rely on native command-line utilities rather than graphical interfaces. The lesson concludes with Windows domain account management, an important topic for understanding enterprise environments. Linux Administration Commands The first segment introduces commonly used Linux commands within Kali Linux, focusing on basic system interaction and networking awareness. File System and Directory Management
Navigating directories using cd
Listing directory contents using ls
Creating directories using mkdir
Creating files and writing content using echo
Viewing file contents using cat
Removing files using rm
Recursively listing directory contents using ls -r
Networking and Interface Management
Viewing network interface information using:
ifconfig
ip a (modern replacement)
Viewing routing information using:
ip r
netstat -rn
Restarting networking services using:
service networking restart
Manually disabling and enabling interfaces using:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
Help and Documentation
Using the --help flag to view command options
Using the man command to read full manual pages and understand command parameters
This section emphasizes learning how to explore command capabilities independently, a critical skill in real-world environments. Windows Administration Commands The second segment focuses on Windows command-line administration, helping students become comfortable working with Windows systems without relying on graphical tools. System and Network Information
hostname – displays the computer name
ping – checks network connectivity using ICMP packets
netstat -nao – shows active connections, listening ports, and process IDs
route print – displays the routing table
arp -a – shows IP-to-MAC address mappings
File and Directory Management
Listing directory contents using dir
Navigating directories using cd
Creating files using echo
Viewing file contents using type
Command Help and Error Handling
Using /? to display command usage and parameters
Using net help message to translate Windows error codes into readable messages
This section highlights how attackers and defenders alike rely heavily on native Windows tools.
