This is a minor variation to cowboy's submission - his script worked great on Ubuntu, but the sed gave issues on osx (which used BSD). Minor tweaks (sed -E instead of sed -r and \'$'\n to handle the new line made it work.
0svn log | tr -d '\n' | sed -E 's/-{2,}/\'$'\n/g' | sed -E 's/ \([^\)]+\)//g' | sed -E 's/^r//' | sed -E "s/[0-9]+ lines?//g" | sort -g -
0find src/ -name "*.java" | while read f; do echo -n "$f "; cat "$f" | tr -dc '{}'; echo; done | awk '{ print length($2), $1 }' | sort -n
-
0netstat -nut | sed '/ESTABLISHED/!d;s/.*[\t ]\+\(.*\):.*/\1/' | sort -u
-
Count and Find all IP connected to my host through TCP connection. Show Sample Output
0netstat -an |grep ":80" |awk '{print $5}' | sed s/::ffff://g | cut -d: -f1 |sort |uniq -c |sort -n | tail -1000 | grep -v "0.0.0.0" -
vim 7 required
0vim -p `grep -r PATTERN TARGET_DIR | cut -f1 -d: | sort | uniq | xargs echo -n` -
Change "sort -f" to "sort" and "uniq -ic" to "uniq -c" to make it case sensitive. Show Sample Output
0find . -type f | sed -n 's/..*\.//p' | sort -f | uniq -ic -
Using large wordlists is cumbersome. Using password cracking programs with rules such as Hashcat or John the ripper is much more effective. In order to do this many times we need to "clean" a wordlist removing all numbers, special characters, spaces, whitespace and other garbage. This command will covert a entire wordlist to all lowercase with no garbage.
0cat dirtyfile.txt | awk '{gsub(/[[:punct:]]/,"")}1' | tr A-Z a-z | sed 's/[0-9]*//g' | sed -e 's/ //g' | strings | tr -cs '[:alpha:]' '\ ' | sed -e 's/ /\n/g' | tr A-Z a-z | sort -u > cleanfile.txt -
0curl -sm1 http://www.website.com/ | grep -o 'http://[^"]*jpg' | sort -u | wget -qT1 -i-
-
0fn=$(find . -type f -printf "%T@\t%p\n"|sort -n|tail -1|cut -f2); echo $(date -r "$fn") "$fn"
-
Find which directories on your system contain a lot of files. Edit: much shorter and betterer with -n switch. Show Sample Output
0sudo find / -type f | perl -MFile::Basename -ne '$counts{dirname($_)}++; END { foreach $d (sort keys %counts) {printf("%d\t%s\n",$counts{$d},$d);} }'|sort -rn | tee /tmp/sortedfilecount.out | head -
0tshark -r data.pcap -R "ip.src==192.168.1.2" -T fields -e "ip.dst" |sort |uniq -c
-
0tshark -r data.pcap -R "ip.addr==192.168.1.2 && ip.addr==64.12.24.50 && aim" -d tcp.port==443,aim -T fields -e "aim.buddyname" |sort |uniq -c
-
This will get all links from a given URL, remove any duplicates, and output the result.
0lynx -dump http://example.com/ | awk '/http/{print $2}' | sort -u -
Enhancement for the 'busy' command originally posted by busybee : less chars, no escape issue, and most important it exclude small files ( opening a 5 lines file isn't that persuasive I think ;) ) This makes an alias for a command named 'busy'. The 'busy' command opens a random file in /usr/include to a random line with vim.
0alias busy='rnd_file=$(find /usr/include -type f -size +5k | sort -R | head -n 1) && vim +$((RANDOM%$(wc -l $rnd_file | cut -f1 -d" "))) $rnd_file' -
Very useful for logs
0cat /file/way/somelogforexample | grep -o "[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}\.[0-9]\{1,3\}" | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -n -
This short snippet outputs the state of all containers available on your system. It is quite helpful to see which ones are running and which are stopped. Please notice that the "sort -u" is needed, otherwise running containers will be reported twice (see output of "lxc-ls" on its own for why) Show Sample Output
0lxc-ls | sort -u | xargs -i sudo lxc-info -n {} -
0for f in $(ls -A ./dir); do echo -n $f && diff original.txt ./dir/$f | wc -l ; done | perl -ne 'my $h={}; while (<>) { chomp; if (/^(\S+?)\s*(\d+?)$/){$h->{$1}=$2;} }; for my $k (sort { $h->{$a} $h->{$b} } keys %$h ){ print "$k\t$h->{$k}\n"}'
