ZSH ships a couple random number generators via the $RANDOM environment variable and rand48() via zsh/mathfunc, but neither are cryptographically secure. This code produces a 32-bit random number suitable for cryptography. It's only dependency is /dev/urandom and it does not rely on any shell commands or 3rd party utilities. It assumes ZSH was compiled with 64-bit integer support. Show Sample Output
1srandom() { zmodload zsh/system; local byte; local -i rnd=0; repeat 4; do sysread -s 1 byte || return; rnd=$(( rnd << 8 | #byte )); done < /dev/urandom; print -r -- $rnd; } -

If you have two sets of files that may share hard-linked files, it can be useful to identify which ones are hard links to same underlying inode (file). This command shows you all of those, sorted by inode#. In my example the two directory trees to compare share a common parent, so I run the command in that parent and just use
find .to start from the current directory. If yours are in different locations, you can pass both paths to find:find /directory1 /directory2 -type f -printf '%10i %p\n' | sort | uniq -w 11 -d -D | lessShow Sample Output0find . -type f -printf '%10i %p\n' | sort | uniq -w 11 -d -D | less -
0find . -type f -exec grep -Iq . {} \; -exec grep -oE "(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.(25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)" {} /dev/null \;
