Mastering Bash for Hackers: Extreme Command-Line Power
Bash isn’t just an interface to your daily laptop - it’s a weapon. In this hands-on training, we’ll push bash beyond its typical use, leveraging it for hacking, data processing, automation, and real-world security applications. Whether you’re crafting exploits, analyzing massive datasets, or automating reconnaissance, this session will equip you with the skills to turn bash into your ultimate hacking tool.
To take part in the training, please bring your own laptop.
- Master advanced bash scripting techniques for automation, and hacking.
- Process terabytes of leaked password data and uncover real-world security insights.
- Use bash to manipulate and extract intelligence from logs, network traffic, and system artifacts.
- Generate graphs, automate reports, and convert file format entirely from the command line.
- Learn how to replace GUI-based tools with bash scripts for speed and stealth.
By the end of this training, you’ll be able to:
- Automate and accelerate security tasks with powerful one-liners and scripts.
- Use bash to analyze, manipulate, and exploit data in security research.
- Apply bash in unconventional ways, from image processing to document forensics.
Kirils Solovjovs is Latvia's leading white-hat hacker and IT policy activist. He began programming at age 7, and by grade 9 was already writing machine code directly in a hex editor during lunch breaks. Renowned for uncovering and responsibly disclosing critical vulnerabilities in national and international systems, he is an expert in network flow analysis, reverse engineering, and social engineering. A lifelong command-line enthusiast, he uses bash daily for hacking, automation, and large-scale data processing.
He is the author of the jailbreak tool for MikroTik RouterOS and played a pivotal role in developing e-Saeima, the world's first fully remote legislative system used by the Latvian Parliament. Today, Kirils serves as lead researcher at Possible Security
