# Clearing Tracks ## Linux Clearing tracks on Linux. Whenever you successfully gain access to a Linux target, all of your activity is being logged in the form of bash history. We can clear the bash history by running the following command: ``` history -c ```

We can also clear the bash history by deleting the content of the .bash\_history file. This can be done by running the following command: ``` cat /dev/null > ~/.bash_history ```
