Automatically find and re-attach to a detached screen session
-RR option is used to resume the first appropriate detached screen session

ssh and attach to a screen in one line.
If you know the benefits of screen, then this might come in handy for you. Instead of ssh'ing into a machine and then running a screen command, this can all be done on one line instead. Just have the person on the machine your ssh'ing into run something like $ screen -S debug Then you would run $ ssh -t user@host screen -x debug and be attached to the same screen session.

Check if your desired password is already available in haveibeenpwnd database. This command uses the API provided by HIBP

Bitcoin Brainwallet Base58 Encoder
A bitcoin "brainwallet" is a secret passphrase you carry in your brain. The Bitcoin Brainwallet Private Key Base58 Encoder is the third of three functions needed to calculate a bitcoin PRIVATE key from your "brainwallet" passphrase. This base58 encoder uses the obase parameter of the amazing bc utility to convert from ASCII-hex to base58. Tech note: bc inserts line continuation backslashes, but the "read s" command automatically strips them out. I hope that one day base58 will, like base64, be added to the amazing openssl utility.
