Bash & Scripting Basics for Offense

What you'll learn

Manual commands get you started, but automation is what makes an attacker fast. This Edge teaches the Bash building blocks you'll use to chain tools, parse their output, and sweep whole subnets:

• Variables, quoting, and command substitution
• Pipes and redirection, plus grep/awk/cut to carve up tool output
• Loops and conditionals — including a host-sweep for loop
• Assembling a small reusable recon one-liner / script

Prerequisites

Do the "Linux Command Line for Hackers" Edge first — this one builds directly on grep, find, and basic navigation. Answer the questions from the lesson content.
