These teach the basics of HP Nonstop and the basics of privilege escalation techniques for HP Nonstop. This is a cheat sheet for commands on the HP Nonstop and some notes that may be helpful when testing them.
Command Prompts 
Within HP Nonstop, a lot of the interaction happens by dropping into a processes shell and interacting with it directly. Each process has a different terminal prompt. These are useful to know and will be important for following along with the commands.
