1. Basic Linux Operating System Commands
1.1 Aim
The goal of the week 6 workshop is to install Kali Linux and acknowledge basic
commands of Kali Linux terminal.
1.2 Objective
The main objectives of sixth week workshop are as follows:

 Download a Kali Linux terminal
 Create a default UNIX user account
 Investigate the fundamental Kali Linux commands
1.3 Required Tools and Concepts
The workshop's primary tool is Kali Linux Terminal.
Figure 1: Kali Linux Terminal
Aman Yadav 1
In the “Kali Linux Terminal” all you have to do to run a command is type it in and
supply the necessary input. The only thing left to do is press the enter key. The
output of that command will be run through the shell by the terminal in response
(javatpoint, 2020).
“LINUX” is an operating system or kernel that is freely available under an open-

source license. Its feature set is quite similar to that of UNIX. The kernel is a
program at the basis of the Linux operating system that handles basic tasks such
as allowing hardware to interface with software (brent, 2022).
The “cat command” is a utility command in Linux. One of its most typical use is
to print the contents of a file to the standard output stream. Aside from that, the
cat command allows us to write text into a file (baeldung, 2022).
The “finger command” is a user information lookup command that returns

information about all users who have logged in. System administrators are the
most likely users of this tool. It displays information such as login name, user
name, idle time, login time, and, in certain situations, their email address
(geeksforgeeks, 2020).

1.4 Steps required for lab
In the lab, these tasks were completed to install Kali Linux . They are as follows:
i. Open Windows Features, enable "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support,"
"Windows Subsystem for Linux," and "Work Folders Client," and then press
the OK button.
Figure 2: Step 1
ii. After the desired modifications have been made successfully, close the
Windows Features page.
Figure 3: Step 2

iii. Download the Linux Kernel Package from the following website:
https://www.techgeeknext.com/tools/download-linux-kernel-update-package
Figure 4: Step 3
iv. Install the package and then click the Finish button when it is finished.
Figure 5: Step 4
Aman Yadav 4
v. Install the Kali Linux application from the Microsoft Store.
Figure 6: Step 5
Steps required for lab are:
i. Using the "script a1script" command, create a script file called "a1script."
Figure 7: “Script” Command
ii. Using the "whoami" command, determine the account's username.
Figure 8: “Whoami” Command
iii. Using the "who" command, display information about all current local system
users.
Figure 9: “who” Command
Aman Yadav 5
iv. Using the "date" command, determine the current date and time.
Figure 10: “date” Command
v. The "ls" command displays the names of files in the system; the "ls -a"
command displays hidden files in the system; and the "ls -a -l" command
displays the file or directory's size, updated date and time, file or folder name,
owner, and permissions.
Figure 11: “ls” Command
Aman Yadav 6
vi. Display all registered users having access to system using “cat /etc/passwd”
Figure 12: “cat/etc/passwd” Command
vii. Update the system and install the finger using “sudo apt-get update” and
“sudo apt-get install finger” command
Aman Yadav 7
Figure 13: ‘sudo’ Command
viii. View user information by using the "finger [username]" command.
Figure 14: “finger” Command
ix. Create the file 'test1' with the command "echo "This is a one-line file" > test1".
Figure 15: “echo” Command
Aman Yadav 8
x. Using the "cat > test2" command, create the file "test2."
Figure 16: “cat” Command
xi. Using the "ls" tool, you can see all of the files on your system.
Figure 17: Displaying new files
xii. View the contents of the files using the commands "cat test1" and "cat test2."
Figure 18: Displaying contents of files
Aman Yadav 9
xiii. Concatenate the files 'test1' and 'test2' into a new file 'test3' with the "cat test1
test2 > test3" command.
Figure 19: Concatenating files
xiv. Exit the script with the "exit" command.
Figure 20: “script exit” command
1.5 Conclusion
In Week 6, I discovered how to install Kali Linux and became familiar with its
fundamental commands. I also gained knowledge about files and directories. After
completing this task, I was able to use basic Linux commands with easily. Overall, I
achieved all of my Week 6 goals and objectives.
