Greatest-One-Liners-In-The-History-Of-Modern-Computer-Science-For-Linux-Developers-and-Many-More

In my opinion the greates, gluten free, proLGBT, blessed by Linux demigods, Bash oneliners I found or I created.

1. Port scanning:

for i in {21..29}; do nc -v -n -z -w 1 192.168.0.$i 443; done 

2. Basically this same but with ssh: (you can do this same stuff with nc)

for i in {1..255}; do ssh [email protected].$i ; done 

3. Executing find output in cat:

find <find_args> -exec cat {} 

4. Adding network privileges to dummy object (ie python in venv):

#setcap 'CAP_NET_RAW+eip CAP_NET_ADMIN+eip' /venv/bin/dummy

5. Copy with tar

tar --exclude='.svn' -c -f - /path/to/sourcedir/* | (cd /path/to/destdir ; tar xfp -)

6. Check if file changes (when file changes watch stops)

watch -d -t -g "ls -lah {filename}" 

7. Compile C/C++ during development (watch execute makes)

watch "make ; [executable_name]" 

8. Pythonic progress bar (Bit cheated though)

def progress_bar(finished, total): done = int((finished/total)*100); empty = 100 - done; string = "|"*done+" "*empty; print(f"\rProgress {done}%: [{string}]", end="\r")
