One day I got sick of all the added bloat that accompanied some of the tools I used on a semi-regular basis. I decided that instead of just putting up with it, I would write my own command line versions without the bloat.
Although most of the modules used come pre-installed with python, I will still list them here
- optparse
- BeautifulSoup4
- python-nmap
- Image
- pygeoip
- pyPdf
- zipfile
- datetime
Most (if not all) of these should be available using
easy_install <module>
First of all, clone the repo and add it to your PATH variable
Copies entire files to the clipboard
cb <filename>
Checks the status of the given port(s) on the host machine.
checkport <host address>:<port>[-<endport>]
Grabs the name and a creates a file for a given project euler problem number
eulerq <problem number> [extension]
Checks if a given number (or python friendly expression) will fit in the builtin integral types (int or long).
fitsin <number | expression>
Downloads all images found within <img> tags on a given web page
grabimages <url>
The images will be downloaded into the current working directory
Reads the exif data from the given image file
imageanalyze <image file>
I woud suggest redirecting the ouput of this one to a text file as the output can get long/wonky depending on the file
imageanalyze <image file> > output.txt

iplocate -a <ip address>
OR
iplocate -f <filename>
where <filename> contains a list of IP Addresses separated by newlines

jpost "Hello World"

pdfanalyze <filename>

prime <number>
Creates a local, light weight web server that serves out of your current working directory on port 8000.
serve
Creates a latex template file based on the contents of resources/textemplate.tex. The contents will be copied into the specified file.
textemp -o <output file>
OR with an option for an editor command to be run immediately after the template is generated
textemp -o <output file> -e <editor command>
For example:
textemp -o thesis -e vi
Will create thesis.tex in the current working directory and then open that file with vi
Puts a time limit on process execution
timer real_time arg[ args]*
real_time is a time in seconds represented by a real number (can be fractional)
arg[ args]* is the command which spawns the process to be timed
Attempts to open a password protected zip file using the top 10,000 most commonly used passwords found at xato.net
zipcrack -f <zip file>
OR with an option passwordfile argument to overwrite the default one
zipcrack -f <zip file> --pf <password file>
