Searching for Existing Security-related Scripts
A basic tenet of computer programming is to reuse code as much as possible. Otherwise, every programmer in the world would waste huge amounts of time trying to always reinvent the proverbial wheel. So, if you find yourself in need of a script and don’t know how to write it yourself, you can search for one either by using your favorite search engine or by searching on Github.
The only catch with using search engines is that you might have to try several different search terms to find what you need. For example, I tried the following search terms on DuckDuckGo:
- bash scripts for security audit
- bash scripting for pentesters
- bash scripts for security administrators
- bash scripting for cybersecurity
As a matter of full disclosure, I have to say that most of these search results were for courses and books for which you’ll have to pay. If that’s what you need or want, then great....
