This is a brief intro to automating recon through bash scripting. This example uses nmap scans that we’re automating. We teach this and much more in our penetration testing and ethical hacking courses. This is on the list of my ideal skill-sets for penetration testing – so you can get started learning it right here right now.

In the presentation of the http://ftp.sh script the final slide said “done” marks the end of the script. Actually, the BASH keyword ‘done’ marks the end of the preceding ‘for-loop’ and instructs the BASH interpreter to reiterate over the ‘for-loop’, in this case if the end of the file ‘ftp2′ has not been reached, otherwise the ‘for-loop’ finishes and the BASH interpreter jumps to the line in the script immediately following ‘done’.
Thanks for that nomail!
Mr Evans, I have had a profound interest in network security for a decade and even attempted to be qualified as a systems administrator at a college in Australia.
I would appreciate your advice on how I can specialize in the field of Penetration testing as it has been my passion for a long time. I would like your recommedation on what would be the most effective pathway to develop a career in ethical penetration testing.
Remarkable! Its truly awesome post, I have got much clear idea about from this piece of writing.
