Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard?
The FHS defines the standard directory layout, such as /etc for configuration, /var for logs, and /home for user data, so tools and admins know where things live.
What is an inode?
An inode stores a file's metadata, such as owner, permissions, and data location, but not its name. Links point to inodes.
How can you find hidden files in Linux?
Use ls -a, find with filters like time or permissions, and inspect temp folders. This free Codelivly room teaches discovery techniques to hunt attacker artifacts.
