Linux Notes for Cybersecurity

Practical Linux handbook covering commands, concepts, and cybersecurity-focused examples.

This repository contains my personal Linux notes covering essential Linux commands, concepts, and practical examples. The goal is to create a well-organized handbook that serves as both a learning resource and a quick reference for Linux administration and cybersecurity.

Rather than simply listing commands, each chapter explains what a command does, how to use it, common use cases, and where it applies in a cybersecurity context.
