Generate a shortened URL with is.gd

Check the API. You shouldn't need sed. The print-newline at the end is to prevent zsh from inserting a % after the end-of-output. Also works with http://v.gd Show Sample Output

Shorten url with is.gd using curl, perl

// This is description for the old command: Unfortunately we to encode the URL. It can't be done with bash (without building it ourselves) so I used Perl? Example with Perl: curl -s http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=`perl -MURI::Escape -e "print uri_escape('http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=commandlinefu&aq=0&oq=commandline');"` Example without Perl: curl http://is.gd/api.php?longurl=http://www.google.com Most urls doesn't use & and ? anymore (SEO etc) so in most cases you can just use the simple version. :) Show Sample Output

display a smiling smiley if the command succeeded and a sad smiley if the command failed

you could save the code between if and fi to a shell script named smiley.sh with the first argument as and then do a smiley.sh to see if the command succeeded. a bit needless but who cares ;)

Convert control codes to visible Unicode Control Pictures

Converts control codes and spaces (ASCII code ≤ 32) to visible Unicode Control Pictures, U+2400 ? U+2420. Skips \n characters, which is probably a good thing.

Ping sweep without NMAP

Waits for all pings to complete and returns ip with mac address

Resets your MAC to a random MAC address to make you harder to find.

Next time you are leaching off of someone else's wifi use this command before you start your bittorrent ...for legitimate files only of course. It creates a hexidecimal string using md5sum from the first few lines of /dev/urandom and splices it into the proper MAC address format. Then it changes your MAC and resets your wireless (wlan0:0).

Count the number of pages of all PDFs in current directory and all subdirs, recursively

Which processes are listening on a specific port (e.g. port 80)

swap out "80" for your port of interest. Can use port number or named ports e.g. "http"

Line Separator That is Width of Terminal

Creates a line seperator that will be the width of your window.

Rotate a video file by 90 degrees CW

Have netcat listening on your ports and use telnet to test connection

This will start a netcat process listening on port 666. If you are able connect to your your server, netcat will receive the data being sent and spit it out to the screen (it may look like random garbage, so you might want to redirect it to a file).
