Summary
Managing processes in Linux is a key skill for every Linux user and hacker.
You must be able to view, find, kill, prioritize, and schedule processes to
manage your Linux instance optimally. A hacker often will need to find
processes on the target they want to kill, such as the antivirus software or a
firewall. They will also need to manage multiple processes in an attack and
prioritize them.
