Hi guys, just a few days ago i was trying to unbrick a Hikvision device, but when i was on terminal it was a little confusing what commands use, but it looks very interesting because all my life I'd been working with Linux environments and my question it's simple, if someone has a manual about this bash commands? Thanks for all

In the Hikvision embedded Linux devices, shell commands mostly come from a program called Busybox.
The command availability varies greatly with the device, the firmware version and the number of applets that the developer has compiled in to the end result.
On the newer firmware, Hikvision replaced the Busybox command shell with their own 'psh' (Protected Shell) that has very few of the usual command-level capabilities. I'm wondering if this is what you experienced.
Hikvision do tend to strip out many of the Busybox commands that 'reverse engineers' would find useful.
The full Busybox is described here : BusyBox - The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux
