Linux for hackers

What would you learn : 

A complete journey from OPSEC → OSINT → Linux mastery → exploitation → full Red Team scenario.

 — Hacking The Hacker

Attacker mindset • OPSEC • Red Team environment setup
Outcome: Operational security + anonymous infrastructure.

 — OSINT Attack Surface Mapping

DNS • Cloud • Certificate Transparency • Shadow IT
Outcome: Full attack surface blueprint of a target company.

 — People OSINT & GitHub Intelligence

Employees • GitHub secrets • Breach hunting
Outcome: Human + developer attack vectors.

 — Core Linux Environment

Filesystem • Permissions • Users • systemd • SSH internals
Outcome: Linux mastery as attacker & target.

 — Shell Engineering & Offensive Scripting

Bash pipelines • Python recon tools • API scraping
Outcome: Build automated recon & reporting pipelines.

 — Kernel & Privilege Escalation

SUID • Capabilities • Kernel vulns • GTFOBins
Outcome: Local privilege escalation inside safe VMs.

 — Network Analysis & Packet Forensics

tcpdump • Wireshark • PCAP reconstruction
Outcome: Rebuild attacks and analyze C2 behavior.

— Nmap Journey (1/3): Recon & Enumeration

sS • sU • Fingerprinting • Output automation
Outcome: Professional‑level service discovery.

 — Nmap Journey (2/3): NSE & Service Intelligence

NSE scripting • HTTP analysis • TLS inspection
Outcome: Map services directly to exploitable weaknesses.

 — Nmap Journey (3/3): Stealth & Evasion

Decoys • Fragmentation • Timing • Firewall bypass
Outcome: Stealth scanning that bypasses detection.

 — Offensive Tools & Service Exploitation

masscan • httpx • nuclei • nikto • dirb
Outcome: Move from enumeration → exploitation.

 — Metasploit Offensive Path (1/2)

Architecture • Workspaces • Payloads • Meterpreter
Outcome: Build and launch full offensive chains.

 — Metasploit (2/2) + Persistence + Final Scenario

Pivoting • PrivEsc • Persistence • Cleanup
Outcome: Complete Red Team attack from A → Z.
