jc JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file-types for easier parsing in scripts. See the Parsers section for supported commands and file-types.

In simple words, ssh-audit is a tool for ssh server and client auditing. For example, you can use this tool:

Scan for OpenSSH server and client config for security issues
Make sure the correct and recommended algorithm is used by your Linux and Unix boxes
Check for OpenSSH banners and recognize device or software and operating system
Lookup for ssh key exchange, host-keys, encryption, and message authentication code algorithms
Alert developers and sysadmin about config issues, weak/legacy algorithms, and features used by SSH
Historical information from OpenSSH, Dropbear SSH, and libssh
Policy scans to ensure adherence to a hardened/standard configuration

Ncdu is a disk usage analyzer with an ncurses interface. It is designed to find space hogs on a remote server where you don’t have an entire graphical setup available, but it is a useful tool even on regular desktop systems. Ncdu aims to be fast, simple and easy to use, and should be able to run in any minimal POSIX-like environment with ncurses installed.

googler is a power tool to Google (web, news, videos and site search) from the command-line. It shows the title, URL and abstract for each result, which can be directly opened in a browser from the terminal. Results are fetched in pages (with page navigation). Supports sequential searches in a single googler instance.

googler was initially written to cater to headless servers without X. You can integrate it with a text-based browser. However, it has grown into a very handy and flexible utility that delivers much more. For example, fetch any number of results or start anywhere, limit search by any duration, define aliases to google search any number of websites, switch domains easily... all of this in a very clean interface without ads or stray URLs. The shell completion scripts make sure you don't need to remember any options.

A friendly reminder that if you need to sort IP addresses in numerical order by octet, you can use sort -V, which is intended to sort software versions…but works just as well for IP addresses.

Guardian Agent (now in beta) allows users to securely empower remote hosts to take actions on their behalf, using their SSH credentials. It allows Mosh and SSH users to enable agent forwarding for every connection, even to hosts they may not fully trust.

Guardian Agent is an alternative to traditional ssh-agent forwarding, which can only safely be enabled when connecting to trusted hosts. The traditional ssh-agent protocol doesn't give the agent information about which host is asking to perform a command on the user's behalf, which server that hosts wants to connect to, or which command the host wants to perform:

Include
Include the specified configuration file(s). Multiple pathnames may be specified and each pathname may contain glob(3) wildcards and, for user configurations, shell-like
``~'' references to user home directories. Files without absolute paths are assumed to be in ~/.ssh if included in a user configuration file or /etc/ssh if included from
the system configuration file. Include directive may appear inside a Match or Host block to perform conditional inclusion.

I had my Include statement trailing a Host directive so it was being included into that Host's config.

But some commands, programs, applications, or whatever you want to call them are just plain unneeded for me. I've found five such commands. I haven't spent the time to trace their origins because that would be a huge time vacuum that I can't afford. So, here they are in all their glory—the five commands on my system that I've found I never use. They are in alphabetical order.

quicssh is a #QUIC proxy that allows to use QUIC to connect to an #SSH server without needing to patch the client or the server.

ccat is the colorizing cat. It works similar to the cat command but displays content with syntax highlighting. It supports JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Python, Go, C, and JSON programming languages. The overhead of ccat command comparing to a cat is minimum on a modern desktop with powerful multi-core CPUs and tons of RAM.

Papis is a powerful and highly extensible command-line based document and bibliography manager.

Debian is not the only project that suffers from this.

Despite the fact that Red Hat is an enterprise Linux distribution, the problems goes even further there where you e.g. still can find a so-called LTS version of PHP 5 that long since should have been permanently terminated.

Update 2022-04-01: Someone asked me about Alpine Linux, whether Alpine is suffering from the same problem. The answer is yes, only not to the same extent as Debian.

Suicide Linux. Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into rm -rf / and wipes your hard drive.
