linux terminal


In this tutorial you will learn to use linux terminal. You will learn to navigate on the terminal , learn to create and remove file and much more. Most of this commands also works on Mac Os X and powershell on windows.

What Is Terminal ?

Basically you are reading this tutorial because you are new to linux or want to learn using terminal to navigate. Before you get started you must have linux installed or running virtually on your computer. I would recommend downloading fedora or ubuntu (If you have trouble installing ubuntu leave a comment below and i will post a tutorial).


Commands To Remember

This are some of commands you must remember which will help you to use terminal more easily.
ls - it will list all files and folder in your current directory
ls -l it will give detailt listing of all files and folders
ls -a it will list all files and folder in your current directory including hidden files (files and folders that begin with period)
pwd will print your working directory or simply your current directory


Navigating In Terminal

Here i may refer folder as directory so dont get confused. This is the term we use in linux for folders.

cd - cd stands for change directory. we use cd follow by path address to navigate ro that folder.
Eg: cd Desktop will make desktop as my current directory.
cd / will make root as you current directory
cd ~ will make home as your current directory
Typing cd alone is same as cd ~ and it will make home as your current directory
cd .. will make parent directory i.e directory above your current directory
cd ../../ will take you two folder up


Creating Files And Folder

mkdir - we use mkdir follow by path or folder name to create a directory
Eg mkdir car will create directory car in your current directory
to create folder recursively i.e folder inside folder inside folder we use -p flag
Eg mkdir -p vehicles/car/truck will create directory vehicles in your current directory which have car inside it and car has directory truck in it.

touch - we use touch follow by file name to create empty file.


Removing Files And Folders

rmdir - we use rmdir follow by path to to remove any directory. This will not work if folder you are trying to remove has something in it.
rm -r  to remove file recursively which can not be removed by rmdir
rm - We use this command to remove files

Feedback

I guess thats enough for today. I know this is little confusing but practice and you will be a terminal pro.  Leave a comment below if you have any trouble. You may also like to read below articles.

Who is behind this blog? Why do you do it?


My name is Manef Macc, and yes, Manef is my first name. I've been a Linux system administrator for about 8 years, and along the way, there have been many influential people who have taught me best practices, problem solving skills, and patience. I feel that this blog is a way to give back to those who have helped me, and to those who are still learning.

Why do you call yourself °0x0:. h4ck3r .:0w0° ?

First off, no one calls me that, because it would be silly. However, I thought it would be a good name for the site. 

What's your background in technology?

Technology has always been something which captivates me. When I was very young, i got interested in Field of Ethical Hacking and Wanted to Learn What is actually Hack and How people Hack another without Accessing Others PC . So this Made me Confused all the time and i would Ask Many Question from people Around like How , what , when etc ...


They Used to Laugh At me and This is Truth and i Met Many Hackers on Internet Though i did not lose hope.

After all suffering and all hardworking of mine i heard from someone in the Hacking Forum that Emails Can be Hacked using a Link (Phishing attack) and i was Like 'wow' i wish i Could Have it. 


i also heard by Somewhere that ready made softwares and programs  Hack passwords by just entering emails . Later after getting deeper in this subject I found that there are no ready made softwares for hacking.

What are you doing now?

Currently, I'm a Linux  Engineer . I work in an environment where the customer always takes the highest priority, but my personal development is also a priority. I work with a team of talented Linux Engineers who are as dedicated as I am to providing the best experience possible for our customers.
If there's anything else you want to know, or if you have comments, i'm all ears ;)
