How To Clear Tracks & Logs On Linux

After giving the command " shred - vfzu auth.log". It shows "Shred : auth log failed to open for writing: operation not permitted "
Kindly give the solution

the program shred the files, should have a amnesic part that forget how it had over write the file. kind of using rust or nim and no c or c++ that use other part of memory to do a new task.

but why not just put all to 1 or 0 . all. the file size.

I used covermyass from github...it did way more task than mentioned in video ....but server admin still know what I'm been doing ...maybe from last modification date

Cheers Mate.

Since there is no Windows video yet, does anyone knows an alternative for windows machines?

Hey Mr HackerSploit, thanks 👍

Much love from share

Очень много говорит и очень мало делает

ALL INTEGRATED CIRCUTS SHOW TRACKS AND IS DOWNLOADABLE FOR USE IN ANY DIRECTION AND THEN IT'S ANALYZED FOR BEHAVIOR COOL RIGHT

The best explanation and illustrations ever you are the world's best teacher

The world's best teacher thanks

Can you make a video on how submit report after pent testing?

If your on live os , this aint needed , anyway good informative vid !💯

Hackersploit is best english hacking channel 😎

Very useful and awesome video

How to clear ufw.log file, kern.log and syslog.

Shredding important log files is not preventing the system to work as intended ?! Lets suppose i am pentesting a Linux Machine ,Is it not easier to backup all the log files at the exact moment when i log into the machine ,And after my changes in the FIlesystem ,I simply replaced the modified log files with the original one ? ( Ofc deleting the later generated entrys from the log files like auth.log and .bash_history , etc )

great video ,thanks

5 minute only speak hmm

you are the best Linux teacher

What if we shred the entire log directory

okay i agree about clearing logs and backdoors! but how if the forensics team recover all the deleted data over the device! its just an old trick now the nsa have a big technology helping them to finding the hackers like over communication gsm-line but if you hack the server and exploit the root privileges to editing the virtual ip it will be fine!

why is the file renamed to 000000 then 00000 then 0000 then...

macos getting popular among pentesters?
could someone explain this

Does overwriting the file with null can't be recovered????

For Windows also..

what about journal logs? pretty important

I wonder what if the company actually pipes logs to another server, then stores them in a very unusual place with an unusual name

so i have to shred all the file that have a .log in my linux to make it clean?

I appreciate the video sir alexis! :) how about tracks on the remote computer?

This is actually important.

the best thing i should have learned for hacking practice. thank you so much for this tutorial you are doing a great work.

Just wow

Command history is appended to the file whose path is stored in the variable "$HISTFILE", but only AFTER you have ended your session. HISTFILE is automatically set to ~/.bash_history for each new shell.

TL;DR
Just type HISTFILE=/dev/null when you're hacking and nothing will be saved in .bash_history

شرح اكثر من رائع :)

Please do make the windows and macOS version next, it would be nice while the knowledge is fresh :-)
