Hello and welcome this
video, we're going to go over
opening the command line for my
command line basics course.
So what we're going to learn in this
video is we're going to learn how
why the SEALs important
identify differences between the
gooey NSCLC and thus
the graphical user interface in
the command line interface,
open the command line on Windows
and open the terminal on Linux.
So this is a very important part
of learning command line
basics because you need
to be able to open the command
line in order to interact with it.
So if you don't have experience with
this, I highly recommend you
taking notes for this section.
All right. So assessment, what
advantages does the SEAL provide
over the guey?
A, the C, the line makes a user
appear as an elite hacker.
B, the C allows you
to click on new interactions,
see pictures and videos,
look better at the C or
D actions that the Seelie
can be easily replicated.
And the question is what advantages
that the sealife provide or the
GUI.
And if you said D actions
at the Seelie can be easily
replicated, you're correct.
That is because the terminal
we can use to either write scripts
or a lot of the tools are able
to have their own
functionality to work past
just one
end user or end machine.
So for
the Seelie makes a user appears
an elite hacker.
While yes, that may
make you look cool, it
isn't exactly an advantage
over the Goule.
For B, the CLIA
allows you to click on new
interactions.
That's incorrect because you
can't click anything on the Seelie
that is the command line interface
and you have to interface with your
keyboard by typing text in
and the same thing goes for C
pictures and videos.
Look better at the Seelie.
There are no pictures and there are
no videos of the command line
interface.
It is only text that is spit out
as you provide commands
into the computer.
All right. So let's move on.
So why is the Seelie
important?
It is important because it was the
first way to interact with computers
when they were first made.
Additionally, you can get robust
control up to the kernel level
using a Linux machine.
You can actually pass the kernel
and modify it to
how you need it to be able to
function.
Like I said before, many advanced
tools do not have a gooey.
So you need to be able to
learn how to do this for your
cybersecurity career so
that you can utilize these advanced
tools to be able to achieve
your objectives.
My favorite automate boring tasks.
I hate doing repetitive things
over and over because that's
what computers are really good at.
So I
take any kind of boring, repetitive
task and learn how to automate
it so that I don't have to waste my
time.
And then on that note, you can also
increase your value to your
employer. If you do manage to
automate a process
that takes too long or
is too repetitive, takes
too much of your time or someone
else's time, it will
significantly advance your
value to your employer.
All right. So like I was saying
before, we have the GUI and the CIA,
the GUI is the graphical user
interface and I'm
going to refer to it
pretty often in this course as well
as the sealife.
So the GUI is easy
to understand in his visual
indicators.
As you can see in the picture in the
top right, we have pictures of
folders as little things to click
on.
Nice little pictures makes me feel
warm and fuzzy inside.
I like it.
And then we have the Seelie, the
command line interface.
It is text based only
if you're lucky you will have some
colors based on the type of
terminal you have in a scrolling
text. No pictures,
and it does involve a lot of
reading.
So this does have
a difficult entry barrier
if you haven't used it before.
From what I've seen is that a lot
of people, when they first get used
to the command line, is that they
feel overwhelmed because
there are so many things, so many
words, and then a
lot of unknown kind of things
going on in the text for
the Seelie.
So you will get
overwhelmed. And like I was saying
before, you need to have a very
strong attitude, slow down,
ask for help, read through items
and that will help you.
All right. So opening the command
prompt on windows so
we get a few different options.
We can click, start and type systemd
for command.
We can hold the Windows key in our
type CMD and that's
in. Run window, and
we can also right click the Windows
icon and you can click on Windows
Parachilna and
I'm not going to go over any power
shell modules in this course
because we are going over basics
of command lines.
But I do highly recommend
that if you are going to continue
on your cybersecurity journey to
learn how to use the Windows Power
Parachilna because it will replace
the command prompt in the future.
All right. So let me show you how
I'm going to open up the command
line.
They would go from the start menu
and then, like I was saying before,
windows are so we'll bring up
the C and we can hit that.
And that will open a command window
as well.
And we can click the Windows
icon and go to Windows
Parachilna.
And there we go.
Windows Power Shell.
It's blue.
Looks great.
All right,
let's see.
All right, so that is for Windows
now for Linux.
All you have to do is just click on
the terminal icon pretty easy.
Please take note, too, that certain
distributions of Linux are Seelie
only and do not come with a GUI.
All right. So let's pull this up.
So I already have one up right now.
This is my Linux Mint terminal.
This is the terminal icon.
And this is what it looks like when
you have the terminal.
All right, so what is
the best way to open
the command line?
Is it clicking the terminal icon,
using the windows run prompt
opening power shell or
all of the above?
Each method is equally effective
and we want to find out the
best way to open the command line.
It is D all of the above.
Each method is equally effective.
Each of these methods will open up
the command line and there isn't
necessarily one that's better than
the other because we're all
getting there to achieve the same
function.
All right. So in this video, I
explain the importance of the seal
on. We identified the differences
between the GUI and the Seelie
and that's the graphical user
interface and the command line
interface demonstrated
opening the command line on Windows
demonstrated opening the terminal
on Linux.
And I hope you learned
how to open the command line.
And I hope to see you in the next
video.
