Step 1: Learn the Linux Command Line

 Book: “The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction” by William


Shotts

o Focus: Master fundamental Linux commands, shell scripting


basics, and terminal usage.

o Duration: 3–4 weeks with consistent practice.

Step 2: Dive Deeper into Linux Internals

 Book: “How Linux Works: What Every Superuser Should Know” by


Brian Ward

o Focus: Learn how Linux systems operate internally—processes,


memory management, bootloaders, file systems, and
networking.

o Alternative (if you want more technical depth):

 “Linux System Programming” by Robert Love

 Focus: System calls, kernel APIs, and programming


on Linux systems.

o Duration: 4–6 weeks, depending on your schedule.

Step 3: Experiment with Practical Scenarios

 Approach: Apply knowledge by working on real-world setups.

o Books for Practical Scenarios:

1. “Linux Bible” by Christopher Negus

 Covers server configurations, networking, and


troubleshooting.

2. “Linux for Beginners and Command Line Kung Fu” by Jason


Cannon

 Offers practical exercises on managing systems and


automating tasks.

o Hands-On Learning Platforms:


 Set up a virtual environment using VirtualBox, install
Ubuntu/Kali Linux, and perform tasks like configuring web
servers, managing users, and automating backups.

Step 4: Transition to Hacking Tools

 Books to Get Started with Hacking Tools:

1. “Linux Basics for Hackers” by OccupyTheWeb

 Teaches ethical hacking using Linux basics with Kali Linux


tools.

2. “Penetration Testing: A Hands-On Introduction to Hacking” by


Georgia Weidman

 Provides step-by-step guidance on using tools like


Metasploit, Nmap, and Wireshark.

 Practical Activities:

o Use hacking-focused distributions like Kali Linux or Parrot OS.

o Practice ethical hacking labs on platforms like Hack The Box,


TryHackMe, or CyberSec Labs.

Suggested Timeline

1. Month 1: Command-line mastery.

2. Month 2: Linux internals + start practical scenarios.

3. Month 3: Deepen practical skills + begin exploring hacking tools.
