Using large wordlists is cumbersome. Using password cracking programs with rules such as Hashcat or John the ripper is much more effective. In order to do this many times we need to "clean" a wordlist removing all numbers, special characters, spaces, whitespace and other garbage. This command will covert a entire wordlist to all lowercase with no garbage.
0cat dirtyfile.txt | awk '{gsub(/[[:punct:]]/,"")}1' | tr A-Z a-z | sed 's/[0-9]*//g' | sed -e 's/ //g' | strings | tr -cs '[:alpha:]' '\ ' | sed -e 's/ /\n/g' | tr A-Z a-z | sort -u > cleanfile.txt -

If AppArmor is installed with all profiles enforced, Chromium may refuse to start, printing a "failed to launch zygote process" error on stderr. This command switches the Chromium profile from enforce to complain mode, effectively un-sandboxing the browser, but depending on the system setup it may be a smaller deal than a nonfunctional application. Show Sample Output
0sudo aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.chromium-browser -
0wget -O - http://www.reddit.com/r/wallpaper | grep -Eo 'http://i.imgur.com[^&]+jpg' | shuf -n 1 | xargs wget -O background.jpg ; feh --bg-fill background.jpg

manview searches man pages on the internets in case the man command doesn't work for some reason or if you think the man pages in Cornell's flavor of Solaris might differ from yours. It dumps the manpage info from lynx to less, so it ends up looking remarkably like a real manpage. Put it in your .bash_profile or .bashrc, and then you can use it like a regular command: typing "manview ssh" will give you the manpage for ssh.
0manview() { lynx -dump -accept_all_cookies 'http://www.csuglab.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/adm/man.cgi?section=all&topic='"$1" | less; } -
0awk '{print NR,$0}'

The above command will: - open a Remote Desktop connection to [servername / IP Address], - authenticate using [username] and [password], - configure resolution to best fit your desktop (I have a 1366x768px resolution so I left space for 2 panels of 22px each), - sets the color depth for the connection to 16 bpp, - hides the window manager decorations, - enables compression of the RDP data stream, - enables persistent bitmap caching.
0rdesktop -u <username> -p <password> -g 1366x724 -a 16 -D -z -P <servername / IP Address> -
I cannot run Tomcat from Eclipse. It says that there?s other process that is running on port 8080, but I don?t know what is the process, and how to stop it from the Services manger in Windows. So here?s how you can kill and find out what is that process: To find out what PID 8080 was (hopefully not a trojan) I typed tasklist /FI ?PID eq 8080″ taskkill /F /PID 2600
0netstat -a -o -n | grep 8080 -

If you changed the default policy on any chain other than filter table chain's, this won't be enough.

0history | tail -100 | grep cmd - ‹ First < 400 401 402 403 404 > Last ›
