1
00:00:00,740 --> 00:00:08,720
‫So a pipe is a form of redirection, and it sends the output of one command to another command for further

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:09,560
‫processing.

3
00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:18,760
‫So Pipe is used to combine two or more commands, and in this the output of one command acts as the

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,650
‫input of another command.

5
00:00:21,130 --> 00:00:27,370
‫And this commands output may act as an input to the next command and it can continue, believe me.

6
00:00:28,690 --> 00:00:32,890
‫Now, pipes, it's important to note our uni directional, right?

7
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,880
‫In other words, data flows from left to right through the pipeline.

8
00:00:38,350 --> 00:00:40,630
‫All right, so now, you know, all that, let's try it out.

9
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:49,470
‫Now in Cali, there is an important file that stores the actual password in encrypted format for the

10
00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:54,180
‫user's account with additional properties related to the user password.

11
00:00:55,190 --> 00:00:57,660
‫The name of this file is Shadow.

12
00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:01,040
‫It's under the slash Etsy folder.

13
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:06,230
‫So why don't we dig in and have a look at the content of this file?

14
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:10,170
‫Oh, and of course, it requires root privileges.

15
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,440
‫So just add pseudo to the beginning of the command.

16
00:01:15,370 --> 00:01:19,870
‫OK, so these are the encrypted form of the user's passwords.

17
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:24,540
‫Let's read the first three lines of this fire with the head command.

18
00:01:26,270 --> 00:01:29,720
‫So we'll combine the two commands with the pipe redirection.

19
00:01:30,410 --> 00:01:34,850
‫So the output of the one command acts as an input to another command.

20
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,170
‫Yeah.

21
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:42,330
‫OK, so now change the directory to the slash users slash bin folder.

22
00:01:43,950 --> 00:01:49,020
‫Run L s dash l pipe grip my.

23
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:59,070
‫And the command takes the output of dollar sign less dash well as its input, the net effect of this

24
00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:06,660
‫command is that the output of the less dash L is displayed one screen at a time.

25
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:16,050
‫So the pipe acts as a container, which takes the output of less dash l and gives it to the grip as

26
00:02:16,290 --> 00:02:16,890
‫input.
