Welcome to other stuff (aka /etc)

This is stuff that makes no sense to put in a blog and doesn't presently have a better place to be

Ed Scripts

ed is the "Standard UNIX Text Editor" which is unfortunately not installed on a lot of modern systems. ed is a line editor meaning that you don't see or edit the text as a whole but rather you pick and choose the lines you want to print and edit 1 by 1.

While, in most situations, this is incredibly limiting, this does give line editors a couple of advantages. Notably, ed is really good at scripting as you can give it commands through stdin.

Running an ed script:

 ed -s file.txt < script.txt

Links to other cool sites. Opinions expressed on these sites are not necessarily the views of myself.

Useful Programs

I use a lot of programs, primarily at work but occasionally not. These are links to some of my favourites that were especially hard to find on Google if you don't have the right idea of what to search for

SysAdmin

vncdotool - Scriptable CLI VNC client/library. GUI not required.

evilrdp - Scriptable RDP client/library, contains pentesting features hence the name. Haven't set this one up as it requires a C compiler, GUI may or may not be required.
