chmod: "chmod" stands for "change mode" and is used in Unix and Unix-like operating systems to change the access permissions of files and directories. cat: "cat" is short for "concatenate" and is used to display the contents of files in the terminal. It can also be used to concatenate files and create new ones. grep: "grep" stands for "global regular expression print" and is used to search text or files for patterns using regular expressions. It is commonly used to extract specific lines from files that match certain criteria. dig: "dig" is a command-line tool used for querying DNS (Domain Name System) servers to retrieve DNS information such as IP addresses, domain names, and name servers. It's commonly used for troubleshooting DNS-related issues.

A. chmod The "chmod" command is used to change the permissions of files and directories in Unix and Linux operating systems. By using the appropriate options with "chmod," such as "chmod ugo-rwx filename" to remove all permissions for user, group, and others, the security analyst can remediate the misconfigured file permissions and restrict access appropriately.
