Hello friend if you are new in kali linux, then you must face a command UI. When you jump from windwo or mac which are mostly user friendly OS,you face a lot of difficulties in Kali linux yeah if you wanna be a hacker forget user friendly OS.
Ok today i m gonna told you a list of linux command which will help you in working with kali.
You don't need to read and remember all at once just practice with them code. Just take a print of all commands and try to type with the help of printed paper and practice.It will take a little time but in few days you will are able to type all command without any printed paper.
Before we go to whole command list lets run some basic command.

Basic Basic commands for networking
Codes: ifconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf; cat /etc/network/interfaces; cat /etc/hosts
Detail of each code:
ifconfig: Displays various bits of information about the NIC (e.g. IP addresses, subnet, MAC address etc).
Note: ifconfig -a, will display information about ALL NICs (including the ones that are currently down).
Code:
root@kali:~# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0b:29:9c:c9:b3
inet addr:192.168.1.23 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

RX bytes:1648 (1.6 KiB) TX bytes:1648 (1.6 KiB)
root@kali:~#
You can also alter the state of the NIC by place it in either 'down' or 'up' state, which disables or enables the NIC
Code:
root@kali ~$ ifconfig eth0 down
root@kali ~$ ping -c 1 google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
root@kali ~$ ifconfig eth0 up
root@kali ~$ ping -c 1 google.com
PING google.com (62.252.173.153) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from m409-mp1-cvx1c.lan.ntl.com (62.252.173.153): icmp_req=1 ttl=128 time=18.0 ms
--- google.com ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 18.061/18.061/18.061/0.000 ms
root@kali ~$
route -n :Displays the routing table (gateways information)
Code:
root@kali:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

root@kali:~#
cat /etc/resolv.conf Displays the DNS information
Code:
root@kali:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain localdomain
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.1.2
root@kali:~#
cat /etc/network/interfaces Displays the network interface configuration
Note>> eth0 is setup to use DHCP.
Code:
root@kali:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
root@kali:~#
cat /etc/hosts Static values for hostname lookups
Note: Editing these values, will NOT change your hostname (for that look into hostname & /etc/hostname).
Code:
root@kali:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 kali-offsec
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
root@kali:~#
Wifi Related commands:
airmon-zc --verbose
A modified version of airmon-ng, which helps with troubleshooting and monitor mode.
Code:
root@kali ~$ airmon-zc --verbose
Linux kali 3.12-kali1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.12.6-2kali1 (2014-01-06) i686 GNU/Linux
Detected VM using lscpu
This appears to be a VMware Virtual Machine
If your system supports VT-d, it may be possible to use PCI devices
If your system does not support VT-d, you can only use USB wifi cards
K indicates driver is from 3.12-kali1-686-pae
V indicates driver comes directly from the vendor, almost certainly a bad thing
S indicates driver comes from the staging tree, these drivers are meant for reference not actual use, BEWARE
? indicates we do not know where the driver comes from... report this
