[] bash tricks
stop bash history:
unset HISTFILE

[] find command
find . -name "name" -exec [command goes here] {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
recursively changes type directories to user=rwx, group=r-x, other=—
find . -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
recursively changes type file user=rw-, group=rw-, other=r– (so that files are not executable)
find /home/BACKUP -mtime +14 -exec rm -fr {} \;
-mtime options:
n exactly n days
+n more than n days
-n less than n days

find files that are newer than specified date time:
find /path/ -newermt 2018-01-15

use -ls to output long listing of matches
find /path/ -newermt “may 21 2018 16:00” -ls
yesterday or today can be used instead

find files between a date reference
finds files between 16:00 and 16:47 on may 21
find /path/ -newermt “may 21 2018 16:00” ! -newermt “may 21 2018 16:47”

to convert all backslash \ to forward slash /
find . -type f -iname *.xml -exec sed -i 's:\\:/:g' {} \;

find hard links (directories have multiple links so use type file and not with 1 link)
find /path -type f ! -links 1

find directories, with emails, with less than 330 files (emails)
find /home/user/Maildir/ -type d -name cur -exec tree -RaFC –filelimit 330 {} \;

find quantity (310-320) of files under any directory named cur
find /home/user/Maildir -type d -name cur -exec bash -c “echo -n ‘{} ‘; ( ls ‘{}’/ | wc -l )” \; | grep ‘ 3[12][0-0]$’

find -exec has two variants:
this variant runs the command (echo in this case) once per match
-exec echo '{}' \;
echo ./match1
echo ./match2
echo ./1match

and this runs the command once against all matches
-exec echo '{}' \+
echo ./match1 ./match2 ./1match

[] Image Conversions and Resizing in batch groups
This will resize all jpg’s in the current directory “.” to 1024×768 and put them in the directory small
find . -iname "*.jpg" | xargs -l -i convert -resize 1024x768 {} small/{}
or a better use of find and convert would be
find -iname "*.jpg" -exec convert -resize 20% {} {}_small.jpg \;

You can replace the “convert -resize” with convert -quality 85% to compress the images instead.

merge multiple images into one pdf
convert blah-page1.png blah-page2.png blah.pdf
wildcards work
convert *.png blah.pdf
convert is a part of imagemagick

[] Edit EXIF data on images
Using exiftool to shift wrong date caused by a camera with the wrong time. man Image::ExifTool::Shift.pl for a manual.
example:
exiftool "-AllDates+=1:0:21 0:0:0" *.JPG
This adds (+=) 1 year, 0 months and 21 days, 0 hrs, 0 min, 0 sec to all files ending in .JPG

[] tar
tar with various exclude examples
tar zcfv backup-website.tar.gz --exclude=stuff --exclude=path/to/stuff --exclude="more stuff with spaces in the name" --exclude=*.wild /home/website

[] chmod tricks
chmod can be used in a way where it preserves executable permissions, if they are already present. using upper X
chmod -R u=rwX,g=rwX,o=rX /path/to/
This recursively (-R) sets user and group to rw- dirs and files that don’t already have executable permissions (the X is similar to x but preserves executable perms if they were preexisting). If the dir or file has any executable permissions then it sets user and group to rwx. This can be handy if you want to change lots of files and dirs at once but not make files executable. For instance, chmod -R u=rwx,g=rwx would blanket files and dirs making them all executable. Of course, using find with type and exec can more explicitly set permissions. But it will reset any executable files as well. Thus the benefit of chmod and X.
To see what files are executable, if any, do
find /path/ -executable -type f

Proper permissions for wordpress:
chown www-data:wwwmaster -R /home/www/
find /home/www/ -type f -exec chmod g=rws {} \;
find /home/www/ -type d -exec chmod g=rwxs {} \;

[] How to recursively force a group permission + umask per user on gnu/linux.
First you can recursively set the desired owner and group. Recursive is optional, only needed if you have sub dirs.
chown -R root.users /path/to/dir
Then force all files and directories created under /path/to/dir to be owned by the creator and the group will be set to “users” group. Notice the chmod g+rwxs is adding the (s)etGID bit for the group.
find /path/to/dir -type d -exec chmod g+rwxs {} \;
You will notice that when a user now creates files or directories under /path/to/dir they come out as (on a typical system)
-rw-r--r-- 1 jason users 0 Aug 29 16:49 this is a file
drwxr-sr-x 2 jason users 6 Aug 29 16:49 this is a directory
You will need to change your umask. You can find it under your home directory in ~/.profile
Uncomment or add umask 002 so that the group “users” will be able to read your files and execute your directories.

[] changing default new file or directory permissions, umask on debian wordaround for http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=646692
change /etc/login.defs
UMASK 022 (equivalent to 644/rw-r–r– files and 755/rwxr-xr-x directories)
to
UMASK 002 (equivalent to 664/rw-rw–r– files and 775/rwxrwxr-x directories)

If that doesn’t work. Enable the pam_umask module like this.
echo "session optional pam_umask.so usergroups" >> /etc/pam.d/common-session

[] Cleanup /etc/passwd and /etc/group

sort /etc/passwd in place
pwck -s

sort /etc/group in place
grpck -s

[] Rename multiple files

remove space from all files ending in .mp3
rename 's/ //'g *.mp3
rename all files ending in .ZIP to .zip
rename 's:\.ZIP:\.zip:' *.ZIP

[] search and replace text within a group of files

find /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ -exec sed -i "s/mac-address=0:1e:4c:27:40:00/mac-address=EC:55:F9:0F:5D:00/g" {} \;
use -name, -type to refine the match if you need.

jedit is a gui program that can do this.

[] migrating Network Manager system-connections to new computer

You can replace the interface-name and the mac-address as shown above or remove them entirely.

sed -i ‘/^interface-name/d’ /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*

sed -i ‘/^mac-address/d’ /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*

On the new machine “systemctl stop NetworkManager” and “rsync -a” them to the new machine. Then start network manager “systemctl start NetworkManager”

[] SSH stuffs

copy your ssh public key to remote hosts ~/user/.ssh/authorized_keys file
ssh-copy-id user@host

Use ‘ssh-add’ to add your private key to the ssh-agent, so you don’t need to type your passphrase each time you ssh someplace.

create a listen socket on your local computer, that redirects port to a host on remote network (10.9.8.2)
ssh -L localhost:3389:10.9.8.2:3389 user@host
-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport
(now you can rdesktop to localhost and it will connect to the remote 10.9.8.2)
rdesktop -g90% localhost

create a remote socket that forwards port 2222 on localhost of server to port 22 on initiating host.
Useful for remote support sessions.
ssh -R localhost:2222:localhost:22 user@hostname
-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport
(now you can ‘ssh -p2222 localhost’ from the server and reach the host)

create a socks4/5 proxy over ssh
ssh -D8080 user@hostname
(now you can configure your browser to use socks5 proxy at localhost:8080 and you can reach the remote networks web servers, or just use it to securely proxy your web traffic through the remote hosts internet connection)

[] Filesystem stuff

make clone image of sda
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=notrunc,noerror

notrunc or ‘do not truncate’ maintains data integrity by instructing dd not to truncate any data.
noerror instructs dd to continue operation, ignoring all input errors. Default behavior for dd is to halt at any error. Useful when imaging damaged drives.
bs=4096 sets the block size to 4k, an optimal size for hard disk read/write efficiency and therefore, cloning speed.

backup mbr
dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1

check status of dd transfer (use pgrep to find process id, kill to send user define signal 1, dd progress will be displayed on terminal where dd was run) or pass “status=progress” to dd command

kill -USR1 $(pgrep ^dd)


mount image
losetup /dev/loop0 sda.img
mount /dev/loop0 /mnt

Initialize all SATA buses:
for x in /sys/class/scsi_host/host*; do echo "- - -" > $x/scan; done

xfs filesystem and xfsprogs
Determine the amount of fragmentation on sda2
xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/sda2

Filesystem re-organizer, by default, with no arguments. It re-organizes files in mounted partitions for 2 hours. Use -t to change the time.)
xfs_fsr
These tools reside in the xfsdump package

[] Recover Files
testdisk (recover lost partitions)

photorec (part of the testdisk suite)

foremost sda.img
-t (type doc,jpg,exe etc. all is default)
-a (no error detection, recovers partial files)
-d (indirect block, use for nix filesystems)

[] KVM Virtualization

Interface config for bridging to virtualized client /etc/network/interfaces
wireless interfaces rarely ever support bridging.

# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet manual
auto br0
  iface br0 inet dhcp
  bridge_ports eth0
  bridge_stp off
  bridge_waitport 0
  bridge_fd 0

Resize/Add storage to kvm image:
dd if=/dev/zero of=myvirtualhost.img bs=1M count=78k oflag=append conv=notrunc
notrunc MUST be used or else append will overwrite beginning of image.

Alternately, creates a sparse file which suffers from fragmentation and possible corruption if host system doesn’t provide proper space for the sparse image to fill into. So its not recommended.
truncate -s +10G image.raw
Alternate method sparse:
qemu-img create -f raw addon.img 10G
be sure to make a backup of original.img
now you can append addon.img to original.img
cat addon.img >> original.img

Now, boot the .img vm and use cfdisk to partition the new space. Reboot, and build a filesystem OR boot the instance with a live distro that has gparted and merge/resize the new partition with the old.

Convert a qcow2 image to raw image and remove the sparsity (-S 0 is non-sparse).
qemu-img convert -p -O raw -S 0 win7pro.qcow2 win7pro.img

Also, fallocate is a great way to allocate kvm images. “preallocation is done quickly by allocating blocks and marking them as uninitialized, requiring no IO to the data blocks. This is much faster than creating a file by filling it with zeroes”
fallocate -l 128GiB virtualhost.img

write zeros to the image so that you can make a sparse copy of the image for backup. Without the zeros the sparse copy won’t have the ability to sparsify
dd if=/dev/zero of=virtualhost.img conv=notrunc,fdatasync bs=1M count=128K

preferred method for expanding a disk image (make a backup!!)
original.img is 64GB and you want to expand it to 128
fallocate -l 128GiB original.img
use gparted to expand the partition and filesystem into the extra space.

Backup virtual images into a sparse file to save space
cp --sparse=always winblows7.img SNAPSHOTS/winblows7.img_oct06-2017
Be sure to unsparsify the file if you need to restore it!
cp --sparse=never SNAPSHOTS/winblows7.img_oct06-2017 winblows7.img

[] KVM with Windows

The best way to get virtio is on install. Download the block driver floppy image and attach it, I use virt-manager. Set your hard drive to type virtio and start your windows install. It will will prompt you to press f6 to install third party drivers. Then press S (you have a disk from a third party manufacturer, your floppy image)

If you already have a disk type IDE and want it to be virtio (better). Then do this:
1. Create a temporary image
kvm-img create -f qcow2 temp-virtio.img 1G
2. Shutdown your virtual machine and attach temp-virtio.img as a hard drive, as type virtio.
3. Attach the virtio-win-x.x.x.vfd (i used the one from fedoraproject.org, see below) to you virtual machine
4. Boot up and install the drivers
5. Shutdown, remove the old hard drive image and re-add it as type virtio
6. Boot up and since you already installed the drivers it will boot. Otherwise, you get BSOD..
(You can remove the temp-virtio.img and floppy image).. All done.

For network drivers.. Shutdown, set the “device model” to virtio. Attach the NETKVM-xxxx.iso as a cdrom. Bootup and install drivers. yay!

[] KVM virt backup

When using raw disk images, the “live” backup options are almost non-existent. The pros of raw img performance may outweight the cons of backup. Here is a simple way to backup .img virt images with minimal downtime:

dd status=progress conv=notrunc,fdatasync bs=1M if=[source.img] of=[destination.img]

virsh shutdown [source.img]

rsync -a --inplace --progress --stats [source.img] [destination.img]

md5sum [source.img]

virsh start [source.img]

md5sum [destination.img]

[] Debian package tricks

list all packages that come from a particular repository, this case “testing”
for p in $(dpkg -l | awk ‘/ii/{ print $2 }’); do for i in $(apt-cache policy “$p” | awk ‘/Installed/{ print $2}’); do apt-cache policy “$p” | grep -A1 ‘\*\*\*\ ‘$i” | if grep -q testing; then echo $p; fi; done; done

[] Windows Policy

run gpedit.msc to edit policy

to backup or move to new host, copy the following
%systemroot%\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine and User dirs

to apply changed policy’s
gpupdate /force

[] RDP tricks

plain old vnc is no more, not to say its not useful but xrdp is a super combo rambo pack. when it comes to ease of use, autostart scripts in debian, built in encryption, performance and cross platform the xrdp project rules the roost. Follow these simple steps.
on server: apt-get install xrdp
done;
on client: rdesktop -g95% [server name or ip]
-g is for geometry, look it up in man rdesktop
done; wow!
obviously, you will need rdesktop or some other remote desktop protocol installed on the client.
If you have issues with the arrow up and down keys minimizing and maximizing your X terminal do the following:
In gnome, use gnome-control-center -> Go to keyboard ‘Shortcuts’ tab, ‘Windows’ on the left pane -> select super+up and super+down shortcuts -> press backspace to disable these shortcuts on these actions.

xfreerdp is a fork of rdesktop that has newer features like certificate verification that comes with new versions of MS Windows.

xfreerdp +clipboard /v:10.11.12.66 /u:accounting /drive:share,/home/accounting/share /smart-sizing /workarea

uhhh, for the record I have NEVER gotten this to work properly. Please contact me if you have!

[] Self Signed certificate on debian, the easiest way possible

[] RSYNC
rsync highlights:
typical use —
rsync -av --delete --stats --exclude media/* /home/ /mnt/usb/rsync-home-mirror
copy [a]rchive, [v]verbosely, –delete any files on the destination that don’t exist in source (mirror), show transfer [stat]istics, [exclude] any files inside directory media, copy contents of /home/ into /mnt/rsync-home-mirror

advanced use — useful for copying entire OS
rsync -aAHXi --super --numeric-ids /source/ /destination
-a archive, -A copy ACL, -H copy hard links, -X copy extended attributes, -i show changes, –numeric-ids preserves uid and gid numerically instead of by name.

Use -n to do a dry run! Especially valuable when using –delete switch.

You can think of a trailing / on a source as meaning “copy the contents of this directory” as opposed to “copy the directory by name”
