This command tell you if your hardware is 32 or 64 bits even if you install a 32bits OS on a 64 bits hardware.
If your distro don't support the -q switch, try doing :
grep &>/dev/null '\<lm\>' /proc/cpuinfo && echo 64 bits || echo 32 bits
See http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcrack/files/pdfcrack/pdfcrack-0.10/
For debian and ubuntu :
sudo apt-get install pdfcrack
You need to install WWW::Mechanize Perl module with # cpan -i WWW::Mezchanize or by searching mechanize | grep perl in your package manager With this command, you can get forms, images, headers too Show Sample Output
That's useful when you're doing some web scraping http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping and you're trying to test your possibly fake user-agent. Show Sample Output
Require lftp and this script to work (adapt path and credentials as needed):
echo $'#!/bin/bash\n# coded by sputnick under GPL 20101007\nlftp -u user,passwd remoteuser@host.tld -e "$(cat)"' > /PATH/TO/ftp-latest; chmod +x !$
You should install qpdf. That way, you can have a copy without any password required.
Example :
LC_ALL=C man less | less +/ppattern
That way, you can make a mix on the fly with the mp3 files in the current directory to make a bunch mp3 file.
Remove everything except that file with shell tricks inside a subshell to avoid changes in the environment.
help shopt
You can use
vim scp://root@example.com//file
too in a simple case.
Perl is installed by default on most modern OS when jot is not. Show Sample Output
You have to do that before :
cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/<YOUR PROFILE>
Require bash. If you use something else, you may use
echo <CODE> | python
Forked from ArkSeth python script.
That works in all softs, CLI or GUI... I don't want to waste time to all the time typing the same stuff . So, I have that command in my window manager shortcuts ( meta+l ). All the window managers have editable shortcuts AFAIK. If not, or you don't want to use it that way, you can easily use the xbindkeys soft.
I you're using kde4, you can run :
systemsettings
then open "inputs actions" and create a new shortcut.
For Gnome take a look there : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-create-keyboard-shortcuts-in-gnome/
A more advanced one, with strings and newlines :
xvkbd -xsendevent -text "---8<-----\nToday date is: $(date +%Y%m%d)\n---8<-----"
For complicated or long paste, you can feed xvkbd with a file :
xvkbd -xsendevent -file <file>
You can simulate ^C ( control+c ) too or others combinations of keys :
xvkbd -text "\C\Ac"
There's no man page nor help ( On my Archlinux distro ), but you can see online doc there : http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/xvkbd/
Show Sample Output
man 5 shadow
I think it's more reliable, because
passwd -S
dont show "locked" but "L" as second field on my Archlinux for a particular user.
( unixhome alternative ).
Then hit ^C to stop, get the file by scp, and you can now use wireshark like this :
wireshark /tmp/sniff.pcap
If you have tshark on remote host, you could use that :
wireshark -k -i <(ssh -l root <REMOTE HOST> tshark -w - not tcp port 22)
The last snippet comes from http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Pipes
Show Sample Output
If you want all the URLs from all the sessions, you can use :
perl -lne 'print for /url":"\K[^"]+/g' ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/sessionstore.js
Thanks to tybalt89 ( idea of the "for" statement ).
For perl purists, there's JSON and File::Slurp modules, buts that's not installed by default.
Thanks to comment if that works or not...
If you have already typed that snippet or you know you already have IO::Interface::Simple perl module, you can type only the last command :
perl -e 'use IO::Interface::Simple; my $ip=IO::Interface::Simple->new($ARGV[0]); print $ip->address,$/;' <INTERFACE>
( The first perl command will install the module if it's not there already... )
For debian likes, that's in python-xml package.
