Today I want to talk to you about Learn Linux and Linux command. After learning the programming language our next step is to learn Linux and its basic command. Now I explain to you, why learning Linux is important for hacking. when you start hacking, you need so many tools for information gathering and attack a website. And all hacking tools an available in Linux distribution. Linux is also used for hiding your privacy. and you know privacy is how much important.

We can use all hacking tools in windows and mac also, but in windows and mac, we need to install all hacking tools, but in Linux maximum hacking tools will pre-installed. that’s why all hackers prefer to use Linux for hacking.

Now I tell you what is Linux, Linux is an os like windows os and mac os. but Linux is an open-source Unix.

After installing Linux, Use Linux for some time for knowing that where are files and other applications and how Linux works.

After that go to youtube and search learn basic Linux commands. Learn basic command of Linux because it’s very important. I tell you applications work in two ways. one is GUI (graphical user interface) and CLI (command-line interface ). GUI means applications are work in a graphic way ( all command is written in graphical and icon way.) so we can easily use that application to press any icon that we want to press for our work. But in CLI applications are work on the command line (for doing any work in application enter a command in command-prompt then that application work. means with the place of pressing icons you will enter a specific command for doing work on that application…

Now you ask me, Nilesh, why we use CLI mode. when we can use GUI mode easily. so why we learn commands for CLI mode. when we can use GUI mode easily. and my answer is. CLI is very fast and we can use many shortcuts for doing work easily and fast after we learn commands. and in GUI mode we will press many icons for small work. in GUI many are shortcuts available but not more than CLI mode. and in hacking, time is everything. And also hackers are lazy persons. They love shortcuts, that’s why they use CLI mode for hacking. And Linux all applications work on CLI mode. That’s why we need to learn commands of Linux and Linux.

Now you will ask me, hay Nilesh, I learned Linux and Linux basic commands. what next for hacking, my answer is: → read my next blog.
