Fresh Grasshopper Seeking Knowledge on inputing awk scripts and working with them?
Hey people people,
I am a new grasshopper willing to learn from the masters. I type a lot when I am nervous!
I have pulled tons of info off here in the last week concerning awk. I know nothing about awk, I mean nuthin. I have started work as the guy below the lowest man on the totumpole as a cyber security tech. I have a LOT to learn. I need to get a grip on awk. I decided after it was suggested to make me a cheatsheet with some commands. I found this forum and started working pulling what I saw and playing with it. Some of the things I need to be able to do concerns Nmap and wordlists.
I grabbed some info I tried but I don't even know how to use them in a terminal. If I could get someone to help me out some. I need to know how to take a text document, something like a short story that was copied and pasted into a text file and make it into a wordlist (one word per line) then remove the duplicates and be able to run it in any password cracker. I have to be able to do each one as a step.
Here is what my boss gave me. He copied a short story and put it in a text file. He has a test server that I must crack. He said not to bruteforce it (I wasn't ready for that) but he gave me a short story on a text file. He said the password for the server was in this story. I have to break the story down into a wordlist with no duplicates and get into the server where he has a file with my name on it and inside this file is an email address where I have to email it before a certain date and time.
I searched out a lot on here because I want to get it on my own. But I need help.
The last thing is, where is a site or a book title where I can read up on awk at it's most basic level. I would like to take what you help me with and break it down to get a much better understanding.

I'm sorry. I read the response and thought it was something in general about posting code. So I overlooked it.
I had to write a script to change my login password, and the script wasnt working fine. When I searched through the previous postings in this forum, I got the solution (using 'expect' tool).
But I would like to know why passwd command isnt working in scripts? (1 Reply)

join
JOIN(1) General Commands Manual JOIN(1)NAME
join - relational database operator
SYNOPSIS
join [ options ] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
Join forms, on the standard output, a join of the two relations specified by the lines of file1 and file2. If file1 is `-', the standard
input is used.
File1 and file2 must be sorted in increasing ASCII collating sequence on the fields on which they are to be joined, normally the first in
each line.
There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 that have identical join fields. The output line normally con-
sists of the common field, then the rest of the line from file1, then the rest of the line from file2.
Fields are normally separated by blank, tab or newline. In this case, multiple separators count as one, and leading separators are dis-
carded.
These options are recognized:
-an In addition to the normal output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file n, where n is 1 or 2.
-e s Replace empty output fields by string s.
-jn m Join on the mth field of file n. If n is missing, use the mth field in each file.
-o list
Each output line comprises the fields specified in list, each element of which has the form n.m, where n is a file number and m is a
field number.
-tc Use character c as a separator (tab character). Every appearance of c in a line is significant.
SEE ALSO sort(1), comm(1), awk(1)BUGS
With default field separation, the collating sequence is that of sort -b; with -t, the sequence is that of a plain sort.
The conventions of join, sort, comm, uniq, look and awk(1) are wildly incongruous.
