Security Aliases

Short security commands.

This page introduces one alias group and its common command shortcuts. Read it first to understand naming conventions, expected inputs, and safe execution patterns. Then open the reference appendix for the complete command inventory and exact syntax. These aliases reduce repeated typing and preserve consistent workflow behavior on macOS, Linux, and WSL.
