View acceptable client certificate CA names asked for during SSL renegotiations

The key is to use the -prexit option at the command line, and then type "quit" instead of CTRL-C to exit OpenSSL. OpenSSL will then dump its last negotiated state, printing out the contents of the renegotiated handshake. Crucial for debugging client certificate configurations on web servers such as IIS, which renegotiate the SSL/TLS connection with the HTTP request in-flight to ask the client for a cert.

This is a dirty raw way to simply list ELF objects in a folder.

The output is ready to be parsed i.e to the stripper or what else needs a path to an ELF object.

Google Spell Checker

I took matthewbauer's cool one-liner and rewrote it as a shell function that returns all the suggestions or outputs "OK" if it doesn't find anything wrong. It should work on ksh, zsh, and bash. Users that don't have tee can leave that part off like this:

spellcheck(){ typeset y=$@;curl -sd "<spellrequest><text>$y</text></spellrequest>" https://google.com/tbproxy/spell|sed -n '/s="[1-9]"/{s/<[^>]*>/ /g;s/\t/ /g;s/ *\(.*\)/Suggestions: \1\n/g;p}';}

This version prints current votes and commands for a user. Pass the user as an argument. While this technically "fits" as a one liner, it really is easier to look at as a shell script with extra whitespace. :)

For those who hate navigating info pages, a shell function which will dump the contents to stdout, then page it through less, thus acting like 'man'.

Automagically create a /etc/hosts file based on your DHCP list (only works on Linksys WRT54G router)

Will create a sample etc host file based on your router's dhcp list.

Now I know this won't work on most routers, so please don't downvote it just because it doesn't work for you.

Limit the rate of traffic to a particular address with tc.

Tc is used to configure Traffic Control in the Linux kernel. See man tc for further details.

This series of commands will limit the bandwidth of the specified device to the limit you set (300kbit in the second command) to the address you specify.
