This Reference Guide is Great For
*All Unix Users

OS
We Hope This Guide Serves You Well and We Wish You Luck!

ICQ:12183866
If your wondering:
Yes I use linux and you can use ICQ with out windows.
If you search for ICQ Clones you should be able to find one.
------------------------------------------------------------
MISC:
Things you should know.
------------------------------------------------------------
UNIX is case sensitive
Which means a file named CAT.txt and another named cat.txt
ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EVEN IF IN THE SAME DIRECTORY!!
UNIX is not for people new to computers!
If you are new computers I suggest using windows!
Try "Hacker Wargames" after a few years of studying computers.
It is legal to hack in hacker wargames, They are good for learning
UNIX because you use the same commands you use in UNIX because
Hacker Wargames are run on UNIX-Based computers. This is good even
if you aren't interested in hacking.
How to get enter a wargame
Open your terminal emulator(if using windows type this in MS-DOS
PROMPT)
then you type
telnet <hostnameorip>
I will list some of the wargames I use at the end of this
guide.
How to make a file/directory invisible
just put a period in front.
!EXAMPLE!
Say I have a file named stuff.txt.
I would simply rename it to .stuff.txt
What UNIX-Based OS you should use
Linux It is great for home and work computers!
I suggest Linux-Mandrake 7.0 or Corel Linux.
Linux is a lot cheaper than Windows you can download
Linux for free if you'd like, we won't dwell into this
much. The price of a linux CD ranges between 15-49 dollars.
Where to download Linux(Completely Free)
I suggest buying linux but if you must download it you can.
From any linux company site it is illegal for company's selling
linux CD's to not have their distribution for download and source
codes as well because it is an open source OS.
The best place to find almost all dist's is http://www.linux.org
Problems with using UNIX
*It is extremely hard to get on the internet
*It is extremely complicated at times
*If some lame shit finds out a username and pass you could
be in a world of trouble(f they are undetected)
*Partitioning your hard drive
Why use a UNIX-Based OS
*Good for servers
*Great for networking
*You will learn a lot about computers
*Hacker Friendly
------------------------------------------------------------
COMMANDS:
This is not a complete list, It's not even close.
These commands are enough to use UNIX don't worry you will
learn more on your own.
You can also learn a lot of commands by checking out the bash history
in a wargame just type
cat .bash_history
ALL THE COMMANDS ARE FROM THE BASH SHELL!!!!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------
UNTAR
tar xf <filename>
Connect to a Remote Computer
telnet <hostname.or.ip> <port#>
Finger
finger <hostname>
Kill a Program/User
ps -u <username>
You will find out all the pid numbers then you type
kill <pid#>
To kill everything type
kill all
Broadcast Messages
echo "<message>" | wall
if you wrote your message to a file type
wall <filename>
Get Help
help
or
?
Manuals
man <manual#>
List File/Directory's in the directory your currently in
dir
or
l
Run A File
cat <filename>
Change Directories
cd <directory>
Find out if something is a directory or file
<name>
Login as a different user without closing the connection
su <username>
Ping
ping <hostname.or.ip>
------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAMS:
To use any of these programs just type the name of the program.
I probably missed a lot but I'm only familiar with these ones.
There are many text games but we wont concern ourselves with
them.
------------------------------------------------------------
IRC Text/E-Mail Text-Browser
BitchX pico lynx
pine
emacs
elm
mutt
------------------------------------------------------------
SHELLS:
Here is all the shells, but just use fucking BASH or KSH.
------------------------------------------------------------
[Taken From Maximum Linux Magazine (LINUX LOWDOWN: SHELLS VOL.1 NO.3)]
ASH
/bin/ash
The Almquist Shell, or ash shell was developed in 1989 by
Kenneth Almquist. It is a Bourne-compatible shell with many
similarities as the bash shell but it is said to lack the power
and functionality of the bash shell. Because of its lack of
power and functionality, it works best with low-end machines.
BASH
/bin/bash
The Bourne shell, or Bash shell is saud to be the "original
shell." Its popularity abounds because it uses a command
syntax similar to that of earlier UNIX systems. It is very
portable across UNIX platforms, and its lack of complexity
makes scripting easier for most administrators. The default
prompt for the Bourne shell is "$."
CSH
/bin/csh
The C shell, or csh shell, is widely used by C programmers
because of its familiar syntax. The enhanced C shell, known
as tcsh, has become popular because it allows you to
"recall" the last commands that you type. Too cool, huh?
So is the prompt a little different? Yep, as a matter of fact,
ther default prompt for the C shell is "%."
KSH
/bin/ksh
The Korn shell, or ksh shell as it's known in some circles,
has the best of the csh and Bash shells, and some additional
features. Now, let us fill ya in on a little gossip. You're
going to hear every diehard Linux nut out there in the free
world talk about the ksh shell and how it's a hacker's shell.
In all honesty, that's kinda true; Code hackers really do like
this shell. In fact they really dig it. Why? Because it
contains the fuctionality of other scripting languages and
allows, you guessed it, better "coding functionality" than
other shells. Programs written in ksh are said to run faster,
however, this remains a religious debate among Linux
gurus everywhere. We here at Maximum Linux don't really
care. We just want a shell that gets us where
we need to go. That's how we like it; simple and sexy!
RSH
/bin/rsh
The Remote shell, or rsh shell, is primarily used to execute
commands remotley on another UNIX or Linux server. The
usage of rsh is quite simple. You can execute it with the
username that it will run as, followed by the hostname of
the machine you are connecting to, as well as the command.
If you execute rsh without any directives, it will login
to the machine specified using rlogin.
TCSH
/bin/tcsh
The tcsh shell is one of the most configuritable and functional
shells to date. It is based on the C shell (wich
Suzie sells down by the seashore0, wich was originally
written by William Joy in the early 1980's. The tcsh shell is
an enhanced C shell. It acts as a command interpreter that
is used as a login a login shell and a shell script command
processer. The coolest thing about this shell is that it
includes a command-line editor, spelling corection, a history
mechanism, job control, and a syntax relative to the csh shell.
ZSH
/bin/zsh
A shell that is compatible with ksh, csh and ssh.
SSH
/usr/local/bin/ssh
Of course we can't leave out the coolest and, in the
past few years, the most needed shell on earth, the secure
shell, or ssh shell. If you haven't heard about ssh, then you
have a serious security problem. Secure shell allows you to
access a machine in an encrypted state That's right,
Johnny. You don't have to worry about Mrs. Anderson
peeping over your shoulder during Computer Lab in order
to catch you telneted into your Linux box in search of X-rated
images. No, my lad you can now use ssh and
secretley access all your porno with out fear of getting
caught. Oh, but watch out for Grandma. She's probably
sifting through your logs as we speak. That's not good,
Check out ssh by pointing you favourite neighborhood
browser to http://www.ssh.org
To change your shell, you can usally use the 'chsh' or
'passwd -e' commands, or you can edit the /etc/passwd file.
Persue the man pages for more information!
------------------------------------------------------------
WARGAMES:
Here are some of the wargames I was talking about earlier.
The idea of wargames is to learn and try to gain root.
These might not be around when you read this so search for
hacker wargames if they aren't available.
You can add/download files from a wargame easily by FTPing
to it.
I suggest using HACK3R.COM's wargames, They are really helpful there.
You May want to inform your ISP that you will be participating
in a wargame to further your education in computer security and
UNIX.

Joe:Walter I'm Real Bored.
Walter: Me to, I got an idea!
Joe:What is this idea?
Walter:For a day i go one way you go the other and we'll

getting a BJ to?
Joe:No i could'nt find her head!
~*AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHHAAHHAHAHHA*~
So what did we learn today?
*Some stuff about UNIX and Linux and a new joke!
We really could use a domain name
like www.wwahp.net or somethin also old ass
computer shit.
contact me if you can hook us up with anything.
That's it for now kiddies!
Peace!
P.S.
Did I actually type that much!??!?!
That's frickin nutz!
