Common Network Commands: IP R

-
IP R Command Overview The `ip r` command is part of the `iproute2` package in Linux systems. It is used for displaying and manipulating the routing table, which determines how network packets are directed to their destinations. This command is vital for network configuration, management, and troubleshooting. Origin and Development The `iproute2` package was created to replace the older `net-tools` package, which included commands like `ifconfig` and `route`. The `ip` command provides a more unified interface for network management, supporting advanced features and modern networking protocols. It offers better capabilities for managing complex networking scenarios, making it a crucial tool for system and network administrators. Basic Functionality The `ip r` command serves several functions: - Displays current routing table entries. - Shows destination networks, gateways, and associated interfaces. - Allows for the addition, deletion, and modification of routes. Key Command Syntax 1. Di...

Junior Security Analyst Intro

-
Why SOC Analyst L1 is Considered a Triage Specialist. A Level 1 Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst is often regarded as a triage specialist because they are the first responders to cybersecurity alerts. Much like how a triage nurse assesses patients' conditions in a hospital, a Level 1 SOC Analyst evaluates and categorizes alerts generated by security tools to determine their severity and prioritize response efforts. Their primary focus is to: Filter Noise: Modern networks generate massive amounts of data, with many false positives. SOC L1 analysts must sift through this data to identify real threats. Categorize Alerts: Assign severity levels to incidents, such as low, medium, or high priority. Initial Response: Perform basic investigations (e.g., checking IP addresses, scanning logs) and decide whether to escalate incidents to Level 2 or 3 analysts. This role is vital because it ensures that high-priority threats are addressed quickly and resources are allocated ...

Common Network Commands: Route

-
Route Command Overview The route command is a part of the older net-tools package used in Linux systems for viewing and manipulating the IP routing table. It provides information about how packets are routed through the network and allows for the addition, deletion, and modification of routes. Origin and Development Historically, the route command has been a primary tool for managing network routing in Linux. However, it has largely been replaced by the ip command from the iproute2 package, which offers more advanced features and capabilities. Despite this, route is still commonly used in many Linux distributions for its simplicity and familiarity. Basic Functionality The route command serves several functions: - Displays the current routing table entries. - Shows destination networks, gateways, and associated interfaces. - Allows for the addition, deletion, and modification of routes. Key Command Syntax 1. Display Routing Table:    ```    route -n    ``` ...
