10 online tools to make working with the Linux command line faster and more efficient

(1/12)

🧵🧵🧵

#linux #bash #cli
There are hundreds of thousands of ready-made #bash command combination examples on Stackoverflow, AskUbuntu, Stackexchange etc.

Explainshell.com figure out exactly what a particular command combination does in details.

🧵🧵
If a command fails to execute, you can use the shellcheck.net tool to find out exactly where in the line there is an error.

🧵🧵
UsiScript

And this tool comes in handy when writing complex #bash scripts. It can be used to generate a template with comments, variables, file paths and other parameters.

It can save you time and effort by relieving you of routine work.

🧵🧵
awk.js.org

Awk is one of the oldest (but also one of the most useful) Linux commands for extracting data from tables and text files, and for automatically generating texts.

This site makes it easy to experiment with awk syntax and different inputs.

🧵🧵
regextester.com

In order to use awk to its full potential, you need to be able to compose regular expressions (which also work with grep, find, sed, tr, vi etc).

This site will help you find a suitable regular expression, test it, and modify it.

🧵🧵
chmod-calculator.com

The file permissions system in Linux is quite complex and it is easy to get confused. This simple site automatically generates permission codes in different formats.

(7/12)

🧵🧵
Cron is #cli utility to set up scheduled tasks.

crontab.guru — quick and simple editor for cron schedule expressions.

(8/12)

🧵🧵
curlbuilder.com

Curl is one of the most important commands for #osint. It is used to make requests to servers from the command line (e.g. for parsing sites or collecting data with APIs).

This simple site will help to write queries more quickly.

(9/12)

🧵🧵
reqbin.com/curl

Tool also allows you to compose and test queries using curl online.
But unlike the curlbuilder.com, it has dozens of ready-made examples for different purposes (e.g. for loading xml and json data, which is often needed in osint)

(10/12)

🧵🧵
And, in final, if you want to try some Linux commands without installing Linux, there are numerous online terminals available.

For example:

copy.sh/v86/?profile=l…
masswerk.at/jsuix/index.ht…
bellard.org/jslinux/vm.htm…

15 reverse face image search tips

When searching on Google, use not only Lens, but also the OLD image search (which gives very different results). You can access it using this tool:

A very good tool for searching for faces and images in general, which is often more effective than Google. It also recognises text in images and translates it.

Is it possible to use neural networks to create a whole series of photos of one person for a fake social network profile ("sock puppet")?

I show by examples the possible way of solving the problem (this is not an easy way ).

🧵🧵🧵
In order to successfully pretend to be another person on the Internet, you need a series of photos in different places and different clothes. But it's a lot of work to make these (even with AI).

First, let's create a photo of a person's face.

Now let's try to combine this photo with different images of other men using UnCLIP_Image_Interpolation_Demo.

If you try many different variants and adjust step 12, there is a chance of getting some good-looking variants.

The #osint community includes participants from all over the world and every country has something to learn from.

6 tips for working with presentations and video reports in foreign languages

(1/7)🧵🧵🧵
You can take the easy way and just translate the presentation file using one of the many online services:

doctranslator.com/translate-ppt/
onlinedoctranslator.com
products.aspose.app/pdf/translate/…

But often this leads to poor quality results. But for some situations it is quite good.

(2/7)🧵
It is better to extract text from a presentation so you can translate it later with more advanced translators. This can be done with the help of these services:

products.aspose.app/slides/parser
zamzar.com/convert/pptx-t…
convertio.co/ppt-txt/
