1' ###Basic Linux Skills### Features: 1. A number of key commands Tasks: 1. 'tty' - reveals connected terminal a. '/dev/pts/0' - psuedo-terminal 1 Note: Terminals are either real (console) or fake (pseudo) Note: SSH and GUI terminals are pseudo Note: Physical console terminals are real (tty?) 2. 'whoami' - reveals currently-logged-in user 3. 'w & who' a. 'who -a' - reveals ALL users and their processes b. 'w' - reveals currently-logged-in user and processes, etc. 4. 'pwd' - prints working directory of full path from '/' root of file system 5. 'cd' - changes directory a. 'cd ..' - moves one level up in the directory tree b. 'cd .' - current directory c. 'cd /' - moves using absolute path d. 'cd ~' - changes to currently-logged-in user's $HOME e. 'cd with tab-completion' - shortens navigation time Note: Use Tab-completion with BASH shell commands to shorten navigation time 6. 'ls' - lists directories/files a. 'ls' - lists current directory in short form b. 'ls -l' - lists "" in long form c. 'ls -l /' - lists '/' in long form d. 'ls -al' - lists current directories entries including hidden items e. 'ls -l .Xauthority .ssh/' - lists multiple items f. 'ls -ltr' - sorts with most recent at the bottom 7. 'touch' - creates zero-byte file or updates timestamp on pre-existing file 8. 'echo' - echoes information to a default of STDOUT a. 'echo "This is a test" ' 9. 'cat' - concatenates (brings together) content a. 'cat test.txt' Note: '$?' var contains the exit status of the most recently executed command b. 'cat test.txt test2.txt > test3.txt' 10. 'id' - returns: UID, GID, GROUPS, SELinux Context (if enabled) 11. 'mkdir' - creates new directories a. 'mkdir temp' 12. 'rm' - removes file(s)/directory(ies) - removes recursively a. 'rm -rf temp*' b. 'rm -rf temp[34]' - removes a range of items using Regular Expression (RegE x) - Character-Class 13. 'which' - searches current $PATH for executable a. 'which cat' && 'which ls' 14. 'echo $PATH' - reveals the current $PATH 15. Redirection: a. '' - OUTPUT - clobbers target file c. '>>' - APPEND - appends to target file if it exists and creates it if it do esn't Examples: a. 'cat test.txt' - reads the file 'test.txt' as STDIN (Standard INPUT) Note: However, most commands will wait for keyboard input if no input file is sp ecified i.e. b. 'cat ' - waits on STDIN for input Note: Use: 'CTRL-D' to quit STDIN from keyboard

Note: 'cat -' does the same as: 'cat' b. 'cat test.txt > helloworld.txt' - bypasses STDOUT (Standard OUTPUT) c. 'cat test.txt >> helloworld.txt' - "" but APPENDS to target file 16. Linux | UNIX Pipes - connects output stream of command a to input stream of command b a. 'cat /var/log/messages | less' - pipes output of 'cat...' into 'less' b. 'cat /var/log/messages | grep kernel | less' - parses '/var/log/messages' for keyword 'kernel' then pipes the output to 'less' to display one pageful at a time Note: When piping, STDIN becomes the content of the pipe 17. Command Chaining a. 'cat /var/log/messages | grep kernel | wc -l' b. 'rm -rf temp* ; ls -l' - runs both commands independently Note: Command Chaining is not dependent upon the exit status of the most-recentl y executed command 18. Command Dependency: AND || OR a. 'rm -rf temp* || ls -l' - run 'ls -l' if 'rm -rf temp*' fails b. 'rm -rf temp* && ls -l' - run 'ls -l' if and only if 'rm -rf temp*' works 10. Command History - built-in command (BASH) a. 'history' Note: BASH maintains a number of variables per shell a. 'OLDPWD' - updated as you navigate the directory tree b. 'LOGNAME' c. 'SHELL' etc. 11. 'export' exports vars a. 'export PATH=$PATH:/tmp' -appends '/tmp' to current shell's PATH 12. 'more' - similar to 'less' 13. 'cp' - copies data a. 'mkdir temp && cp -v test.txt temp/ && ls -l temp/' 14. 'mv' - moves data a. 'mv test.txt temp/ && ls -l . && ls -l temp/ && echo $?' Note: In scripts, prefix exit status with meaningful text: i.e. 'echo "EXIT STATUS: " $? ' Note: BASH Shell allows simple navigation using: a. 'CTRL-a' - takes you to the beginning of the line b. 'CTRL-e' - takes you to the end of the line c. 'CTRL-b' - back one character d. 'CTRL-f' - forward one character 15. 'dmesg' - Kernel Ring Buffer - Pre-Syslog a. '/var/log/dmesg' - 'dmesg' Note: Also contains how the most recent invocation of the kernel took place (com mand-line) b. 'dmesg | grep -i 'command line' ' - returns current kernel command line 16. a. b. 17. 18. a. 19. 20.

'head & tail' - Returns header and footer of text documents 'head /var/log/messages' - returns first 10 lines 'tail /var/log/messages' - returns last 10 lines 'file' - returns the type of data stored in a file 'ps' - lists processes 'ps' -lists processes for current user 'top' - dynamic 'ps', 'free', 'uptime', 'vmstat' 'free' - memory allocation - RAM & SWAP

21. 'uptime' - shows system uptime and load average 22. 'df' - shows disk allocation and mount point a. 'df -h' - human-readable format Note: '-h' often means human-readable for many commands 23. 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' - enumerates detected CPUs Note: '/proc' is a virtual (in-RAM) FS which houses system statistics Note: System utilities read from: /proc to display values: i.e. 'free', 'top', e tc. 24. 'uname' - enumerates kernel version 25. 'seq' - generates a sequence of numbers - useful with looping in the $SHELL ###Compression Utilities### Features: 1. de/Compression of content 2.

GUI 2. TUI - Text User Interface tools Tasks: 1. 'system-config-users' - create additional users and evaluate Note: If user's $SHELL is set to: '/sbin/nologin' the user will not be able to o btain a shell, nor will 'root' be able to 'su' as that user: i.e. 'adm', 'daemon ', 'bin', etc. Note: System accounts typically are present in the process listing sans TTY beca use they do not need a $SHELL Note: Regular users who are defined with: '/sbin/nologin' as their $SHELL may no t access the system via a $SHELL. i.e. via 'SSH' or 'Telnet', however, they may access the system via an appropriate daemon. i.e. 'FTPD' Note: Defaults are assigned to new accounts, including, but not limited to: 1. $SHELL = /bin/bash 2. $HOME = /home/$USER 2. $SHELL Tools a. 'groupadd linuxcbt4' b. 'useradd -d /home/linuxcbt4 -s /bin/bash -g linuxcbt4 linuxcbt4'

Test policy changes by creating new account a. 'groupadd linuxcbt5 && useradd -g linuxcbt5 -d /home/linuxcbt5 -s /bin/bash linuxcbt5 && chage -l linuxcbt5' 6. 'userdel' a. 'userdel -r linuxcbt5' - removes user, group, $HOME, $MAIL traces ###File Types - Permissions### Features: 1. Classification of files 2. Permissions Tasks: 1. Classification of files a. Use: 'ls -l' to expose file properties '-rw-rw-r--. 1 linuxcbt linuxcbt 6888896 Jan 7 16:46 1million.txt' '-' -> standard file 'drwxr-xr-x. 2 linuxcbt linuxcbt 4096 Jan 7 11:14 Desktop' 'd' -> directory Note: RHEL6 uses color templates for classifying files: 'black' -> standard file 'blue' -> directory 'red' -> compressed file 'green' -> executable Note: The color pattern is subject to change, so don't always rely upon it 'crw-------. 1 root root 4, 1 Jan 7 11:31 tty1' 'c' -> character device 'lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 15 Jan 7 11:03 stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0'

'l' -> symbolic link 'brw-rw----. 1 root disk 8, 0 Jan 7 11:03 sda' 'b' -> block (storage) device - i.e. hard drive, USB stick, etc. 2. Permissions a. Represented by 9-rightmost bits in 10-bit permissions block '-rw-rw-r--. 1 linuxcbt linuxcbt 6888896 Jan 7 16:46 1million.txt' 'rw-' - owner bits - 2,3,4 = 4+2 = 6 'rw-' - group owner bits - 5,6,7 = 4+2 = 6 'r--' - other/everyone bits - 8,9,10 = 4+0 = 4 Permissions Values: 'r' = 4 = read 'w' = 2 = write 'x' = 1 = execute b. Use 'chmod' to influence permissions on file objects - it changes the octal mode c. Default permissions are inherited from the $UMASK var d. 'chmod 666 e. 'chmod u-w tent e. 'chmod o-w o the content f. 'chmod g-w tent

/tmp/1million.txt' /tmp/1million.txt' - removes owner's ability to write to the con /tmp/1million.txt' - removes other/everyone's ability to write t /tmp/1million.txt' - removes group's ability to write to the con

'drwxrwxr-x. 2 linuxcbt linuxcbt 4096 Jan 7 17:23 temp' Default directory permissions is octal: 775 g. h. i. j. k.

'chown 'chmod 'chmod 'chown 'chgrp

linuxcbt /tmp/1million.txt && ls -l /tmp/1million.txt' o-r /tmp/1million.txt && stat /tmp/1million.txt' 600 /tmp/1million.txt && stat /tmp/1million.txt' linuxcbt:linuxcbt /tmp/1million.txt && stat /tmp/1million.txt' linuxcbt /tmp/1million.txt && stat /tmp/1million.txt'

3. SETUID/SETGID/STICKY Bit a. 'chmod 4755 perl_script_1.pl' - causes script to always run as user/owner Note: permission will reflect: '4755' with 'rws' Note: The 's' replaces the 'x' for the owner to indicate SETUID b. 'mkdir /projectx && chmod 2755 /projectx' - causes files created in directo ry to inherit group permissions b1. 'chmod g=s /projectx' b2. 'groupadd projectx' b3. 'chown linuxcbt:projectx /projectx' b4. 'chmod 2775 /projectx && stat /projectx' c. '/tmp' -> example of sticky bit - leading value of: '3' c1. 'chmod 3777 /tmp' || 'chmod +t /tmp' - sets sticky bit on object ###Symbolic Links### Features: 1. Two types a. 'symlinks' - soft - facilitate intra/inter-file-system links a1. based on file names in the file system, NOT inodes

b. 'hard links' - hard - facilitate intra-file-system links b1. based on inodes, NOT file names Tasks: 1. Symlinks - shortcuts a. 'ln -s /tmp/1million.txt ./tmp.1million.txt' lrwxrwxrwx. 1 linuxcbt linuxcbt 17 Jan 11 11:56 tmp.1million.txt -> /tmp/1mill ion.txt Creates a link to the actual file name Note: Soft-links do NOT increment the link counter returned by 'ls -l' || 'stat' Note: So long as the source file name and directory location remain unchanged, t he soft-links will work 2. Hardlinks - shortcuts to inodes - may not span (go across) file systems a. 'ln /tmp/1million.txt /projects/hard.1million.txt' - increments the link co unter b. 'ls -li filename' - reveals inode Note: permissions apply to ALL linked (hard & soft) files ###Quota Implemenation### Features: 1. Limit storage consumption per user/group 2. Based on: disk block usage or inode usage 3. Imposed in 2 stages (thresholds): soft & hard a. Soft limit: may be execeeded for up to the grace period b. Hard limit: may never be execeeded under any circumstance Requires: 1. 'quota*' RPM 2. Must associates file system(s) with quota management: user and/or group Steps: 1. Enable in: '/etc/fstab' a. 'defaults,usrquota,grpquota' - impose on: '/home' 2. Remount the file system: '/home' Note: Effect quota management during single-user / installation modes to avoid d isconnects in service a. 'mount -o remount /home' - remounts the file system Note: Optional methods of remounting the file system include: umount/mount OR re boot the system b. 'mount' - reflects whether or not: 'usrquota', 'groupquota' options have be en enabled 3. Create quota database files and generate disk usage table - defines baseline a. 'quotacheck -cug /home' - applies user and group quotas Note: 'quotacheck' should be run in: Single-user mode OR when the system reboots to facilitate: read-only remount of target file system b. Use: '-m' option to override 4. Check defined quota database: a. 'quotacheck -amvug' - checks quotas - forces check 5. Assign quota policies per user and/or group: a. 'edquota linuxcbt4' - uses default editor ($EDITOR) 6. Run 'quotacheck -avugm' to update stats 7. Run 'repquota /home' to show FS-wide usage report 8. Use: 'edquota -t' to modify grace period a. 'edquota -T linuxcbt4'

9. Use: 'quotaon ...' - to enter production mode a. 'quotaon -vug /home' - enters production mode b. 'quotaon -p /home' - echoes current quota status Note: Default grace period is 7-days 10. Attempt to write data beyond soft limit grace period ###Provision Partitions & File Systems### Features: 1. Ability to provision additional storage Tools: 1. 'fdisk' 2. 'parted' 3. 'mke2fs' - ext2,ext3,ext4 FSs Storage Hierarchy: Disk -Partition(s) -File System(s) Tasks: 1. Enumerate available storage: a. 'fdisk -l' - enumerates disks and partitions b. 'parted -l' - "" 2. Provision additional storage: a. Select disk: /dev/sdb b. 'parted /dev/sdb' c. 'mkpart primary 1 10GB' d. 'mke2fs -t ext4 -j /dev/sdb1' - overlays EXT4 FS on: /dev/sdb1 e. 'mkdir /temp10G1' f. 'mount /dev/sdb1 /temp10G1 && mount' g. Create content in new repository 3. Repeat process on the same disk 4. Make partitions available across reboots: a. '/etc/fstab' 5. Unmount both partitions and re-mount via: '/etc/fstab' a. 'umount /temp10G1 && umount /temp10G2 && mount' b. 'mount -a' - reads the contents of: '/etc/fstab' Note: Paritioning is typically handled during installation and/or within runleve l 1 ###Provision Swap Space### Features: 1. Generates additional virtual memory 2. Temporary fix for RAM-shortage. Permanent fix is to add more RAM. 3. Requires no system downtime 4. Works with dedicated partitions 5. Works with existing file systems 6. Works across disks, consequently improving performance Tasks: 1. Define swap partition and provision a.

2. 'rsync -av --delete SRC DST' - removes superfluous content on DST (reverse m irror) ###TFTPD### Features: 1. Fast, UDP-based file transfers 2. Unreliable, however, in a LAN-connected environment, it is rather reliable 3. Update devices that function as TFTP clients: Cisco devices (routers, switch es, firewalls, etc.) 4. Managed via: 'XINETD' Tasks: 1. Install 'tftp-server' RPM a. 'yum search tftp && yum -y install tftp-server' '/var/lib/tftpboot' - directory where TFTPD-served content lives '/etc/xinetd.d/tftp' - primary, XINETD-controlled, config file - enable/disable TFTPD here '/usr/sbin/in.tftpd' - binary (daemon) - invoked by XINETD when necessary 2. Enable TFTP Server (TFTPD) a. '/etc/xinetd.d/tftp' b. 'service xinetd start' c. 'netstat -nul ' - ensure that: 'UDP:69' is listening and controlled by: 'xi netd' 3. Backup Cisco Router Configuration a. 'ssh [email protected]' b. 'cp running-config tftp://192.168.75.21/linuxcbtrouter1.config' Note: '/var/lib/tftpboot/' - root indicated in above URI, NOT the root (/) of th e Linux FS c.

Use TFTP client to move data Note: SFTP/SCP/FTPS are preferred, however, TFTP client may be convenient Note: TFTP client is both: interactive & non-interactive a. 'tftp -v 192.168.75.21' 6. Overwrite TFTP Server data from rogue client: a. 'ssh 192.168.75.101 && tftp -v 192.168.75.21 -c put linuxcbtrouter1.config' Note: Best practice suggests that you should run TFTPD only when/if necessary. D isable when not needed and, flag files in: '/var/lib/tftpboot' to restrictive pe rmissions: i.e. 'chmod 644 /var/lib/tftpboot/*' ###TELNETD### Features: 1. Clear-text means of accessing a TTY (PTY) across the wire 2. XINETD-controlled 3. Does NOT allow 'root' to access TTY via Telnet: '/etc/securetty' 4.

ypted Tasks: 1. Install a. 'yum -y install telnet-server' 2. Examine Configuration a. '/etc/xinetd.d/telnet' 3. Use Telnet Server a. 'telnet 192.168.75.21' b. 'su ' - switches context to 'root' Note: Be very careful when using 'su' with 'telnet' due to clear-text exposure o f passwords Note: Loopback connections do NOT traverse the wire. It's ALL virtual (local). I t's relatively safe. c. 'telnet 192.168.75.21' - exposes session to switch-port (network) 4. Disable Telnet Server a. '/etc/xinetd.d/telnet' - set 'disable = yes' b. 'service xinetd restart' c. 'netstat -ntl | grep 23' - confirm whether TELNETD is still listening to: T CP:23 d. 'netstat -ant | grep 23' - search for stale/existing sockets Note: TELNETD does NOT facilitate SSH functions/features such as: 1. File Transfers: i.e. 'scp', 'sftp' 2. PKI: i.e. public key/private keypairs 3. Remote commands via command-line (one-off) 4. Pseudo-VPNs ###Network Time Protocol Daemon### Features: 1. Time synchronization 2. Multiple sources 3.

Mandatory Access Controls (MACs) 2. Standard Linux | Unix permissions are based on: Discretionary Access Control s (DACs) i.e. -rw-rw-r--. 1 linuxcbt linuxcbt 2129783 Jan 7 17:06 temp.zip 3. A sophisticated labeling system is applied to: subjects & objects 4. Subjects -> users and/or processes 5. Objects -> Files 6. SELinux via MACs: provides a way to separate: users, processes, and objects via labeling and monitors/controls their interaction via: Advanced Vector Cache (AVC) 7. Labels are known as types, which create the silos around: subjects & objects 8. DACs are checked prior to MACs 9. SELinux is enabled in 'enforcing' mode 10. SELinux operates in 3 modes: disabled (DAC), enabled(DAC/MAC), enforcing(DAC /MAC/Enforced)

11. Log information: '/var/log/audit/audit.log' - AVC logs here - Denials 12. Policy information is defined in the: 'targeted' policy Tasks: 1. Explore common tools a.

'/selinux' - '/proc'-like FS (Virtual) - maintains SELinux information e. 'setsebool ' - sets boolean values for SELinux - use '-P' to make changes p ersistent across reboots f. '-Z' - Use with common commands: i.e. 'ls', 'ps', 'id' g. Use: 'restorecon -R /var/www/html' - resets ALL files to proper type Note: 'restorecon' is necessary if files are moved about the FS and have incorre ct contexts 2. Switch SELinux mode to: 'permissive' and evaluate with Apache->MySQL a. 'setenforce 0' - sets SELinux to 'permissive' b. 'setsebool httpd_can_network_connect_db off' - disables Apache's ability t o talk to MySQL c. 'setenforce 1' - sets SELinux to 'enforcing' d. Try to invoke Apache->MySQL session: fails 3. Move and Copy content and evaluate Note: Moves will preserve SELinux file Note: Copies will NOT preserve SELinux object (file) will inherit the SELinux d by the SELinux 'targeted' policy.

PING: Features: 1. ability to communicate with hosts using ICMP a. PING sends ICMP echo-requests b. PING expects to receive ICMP echo-replies

Task: PING some hosts and evaluate the output 1. 'ping localhost (127.0.0.1)' 2. 'ping -c 3 localhost' - sends 3 ICMP echo-requests Note: 'ping localhost' performs name resolution using /etc/hosts Note: '/etc/hosts' stores static name-to-IP mappings Note: 127.0.0.0/8 is full-reserved to the loopback adapter of ALL IPv4 hosts 3. 'ping -c 3 192.168.75.199' 4. 'ping -c 3 -i 3 192.168.75.199' - delays PINGs to 3 seconds apart Note: PING defaults to a standard 1-sedond interval Note: Firewall(s) may block ICMP traffic, causing PING to fail TELNET: Features: 1. Great for basic TCP port diagnosis Task: 1. Connect to TCP ports on various hosts a. 'telnet 192.168.75.100 22' b. 'telnet www.linuxcbt.com 80' NETSTAT: Features: 1. Provides network connection informationfrom /proc/net/* Task: 1. Return useful information for various protocols a. 'netstat' b. 'netstat -a' - returns all protocols/sockets c. 'netstat -ntlp' - returns all TCP LISTENERS without name resolution d. 'netstat -nulp' - returns all UDP LISTENERS without name resolution Note: netstat use /etc/services to translate ports to names Note: '0.0.0.0:514' - this means that Syslog will accept traffic to any of the d efined IP addresses/interfaces on the system e. 'netstat -ntp' - returns established connections (sockets) f. 'netstat -rn' - returns the route tables ARP: Features: 1. Resolves layer-2 (OSI model) MAC addresses to layer-3 IP Task: 1. Examine MAC addresses using: ifconfig and arp a. 'ifconfig' - returns our local MAC addresses HWaddr 08:00:27:CF:4C:DB b. 'arp -an' - returns MAC to IP mappings Note: When 2 TCP/IP hosts communicate, ARP is performed to translate the IP addr ess(v6/v4) to a MAC address Note: If a one or more routers seqarate the communicating hosts, then the MAC ad dress of the default router's (gateway's) interface is stored by each client ###IPv4 Configuration $ Network Settings### Network Support:

1. Boot system into a mulit-user mode 2. /etc/modprobe.conf - contains alias and reference to module(s) to be loaded in order to provide networking 3. Linux decides if the interface is DHCP or static by viewing the contents of: a. /etc/sysconfig/network - networking=yes|no, IPv6_Support, Default Gateway, etc. b. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 - contains ifup, ifdown, and ifcf g-* scripts c. /etc/init.d/network - main service service network status - checks networking system-config-network-* - network interface configuration Note: Either update your net configuration manually from the shell, or using the 'system-config-network' tools to avoid losing setttings /etc/resolv.conf - DNS configuration file /etc/hosts - static list of hosts IPv4 Aliases: 1. ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.75.11 2. ifconfig eth0:2 10.168.76.11 Note: To ensure that aliases persist do the following: 1. cp /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ./ifcfg-eth0:1 2. Modify ifcfg-eth0:1 to reflect aliased IP Note: Aliases do NOT work dDHCP interfaces ifconfig eth0:2 del 10.168.76.11 - removes the virtual interface IPv6 Config Features: 1. Auto-configured by default gateway (router) 2. fe80:: - link-local address (loopback/local subnet address) 3. 2002:: - 6to4 address, that can be configured based on IPv4 embedded address , using HEX notation ping6 -I eth0 fe80::a00:27ff:fecf:4cdb traceroute6 - used to trace routes on IPv6 networks ### Kernel Upgrade ### Features: 1. Provision of updated/patched kernel Task: 1. Update the kernel a. use 'uname -a' to reveal current version b. use 'rpm -qa | grep -i kernel' - to reveal installed version c. cat /etc/grub.conf -> /boot/grub/grub.conf 2. Proper installation method is as follows: a. 'rpm -ivh kernel*.rpm' - install a separate version Note: Install the following kernel packages if necessary: a. kernel-devel* - if module compilation is necessary b. kernel-headers* - if recompilation is necessary

Install: a. rpm -ivh kernle-2.6.18-53.el5.i686.rpm Note: This will update GRUB (/boot/grub/grub.conf) Note: Will also place the new kernel in the /boot file system Examine traces in: a. /boot b. /boot/grub/grub.conf 3. Remove traces of former kernel using 'rpm -e [--nodeps]' a. rpm -e kernel-2.6.18-8.el5 - remove older version b. rpm -e --nodeps kernel-headers-2.6.18-8.el5 - force remove ignoring depende ncies c. rpm -e kernel-devel-2.6.18-8.el5 4. Install new 'kernel-headers' and 'kernel-devel' packages using YUM a. yum -y install kernel-headers b. yum -y install kernel-devel 5.
