One command line web server on port 80 using nc (netcat)

Very simple web server listening on port 80 will serve index.html file or whatever file you like pointing your browser at http://your-IP-address/index.html for example. If your web server is down for maintenance and you'd like to inform your visitors about it, quickly and easily, you just have to put into the index.html file the right HTML code and you are done! Of course you need to be root to run the command using port 80.
This is sample output - yours may be different.

Search entire server for Q4 2015 obfuscated PHP malware of unknown origin.

If this matches any files on your web server expect to find allot of malware spread throughout your server folders. Seems to target wordpress sites. Be sure to check your themes/theme-name/header.php files manually for various redirect scripting usually in the line right above the close head tag. Good luck! Show Sample Output

find / -name \*.php -exec grep -Hn .1.=.......0.=.......3.=.......2.=.......5.= {} \;

One command line web server on port 80 using nc (netcat)

-k, --keep-open will keep connection alive, and we could exclude using 'while true' nc is such a powerful command, it could be used instead of any OS! :p Show Sample Output

Batch rename extension of all files in a folder, in the example from .txt to .md

echo unicode characters

Compress excutable files in place.

The gzexe utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them. FYI: You can compress any executable sha-bang scripts as well (py, pl, sh, tcl, etc.).

repeat any string or char n times without spaces between

(here is character '+' repeated 80 times) Sometimes needed to enhance the title of the script.

View dmesg output in human readable format

Lists the size of certain file in every 10 seconds

watch is a command especially designed for doing this job

Throttling Bandwidth On A Mac

sudo ipfw pipe 1 config bw 50KByte/s Set the bandwidth (bw) limit to any number you want. For example you could have a 15kb pipe for X application and then a 100kb pipe for another application and attach things to those pipes. If a port isn’t attached to a pipe, it runs at full speed. Change the number (in this case 1) to a different number for a different pipe. The next step is to attach your port. sudo ipfw add 1 pipe 1 src-port 80 In this case anything on port 80 (http) will be set to a limit of 50Kbyte/s. If you want to attach a second port to this pipe, repeat the command but change the port number at the end. src : http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2008/12/throttling-bandwidth-on-a-mac.html

Search specified $TEXT1 and Replace that by specified arg ($TEXT2)

ls only directories

Like normal ls, but only lists directories. Can be used with -l to get more details (ls -lad */)

Parse m3u playlist file for total time

Parse an m3u file with seconds for each item and output the length of the entire playlist
