Stop typing every Linux command by hand. In this video, you’ll write your first Bash scripts and learn variables, command substitution, exit codes, and if statements. Then we build a real security tool: a script that checks a Linux server and warns you when someone is guessing SSH passwords. We attack our own lab server from a second machine and watch the script catch it automatically.

📌 This is part of a series where KernelPath teaches Linux for cybersecurity, step by step. Previous videos covered processes, network connections, services, finding files, Linux logs, and brute-force detection. Subscribe and follow the series so you don’t miss the next video: building a full Linux recon script that collects everything about a host in one run.

⚠️ All demonstrations are performed on my own lab VMs for educational purposes. Never test on systems you don’t own or have permission to test.
