atom

Atom Atom is sometimes a pain but it's free, extremely flexible, and does really good regex. Also works on many platforms. Atom was really useful so of course Micro$oft killed it. ---------- Can't install packages When searching for packages you get the error: unable to get local issuer certificate.

autohotkey

AutoHotKey AutoHotKey is one of two things I miss when I'm on Mac. You can duplicate the functionality in various ways but there isn't a single tool that's both a full scripting language and a simple hotstring/hotkey tool. ---------- The startup script for AHK is in the same directory as the AutoHotKey executable and has the same name but with a .ahk extension. By default that's

MS Edge I use multiple browsers to organize work. Personal browsing in browser A, Company stuff in browser B, Work stuff in browser C. Because Edge is in Windows and doesn't suck completely since going to Chromium I'll usually use it for Company stuff.

Google Search To have Google open new tabs from search results everyone else tells you to go to Settings, then Advanced Search, then and that is a true and valid way of doing it and Google will set a cookie and remember it. But there's another option if you don't want to dig for that (or click that link).

ipcalc

IPCalc IPCalc is a Perl script some helpful person wrote and put on the internets. The Github and download links are at the bottom of that page. To find the subnet given IP and mask or CIDR ipcalc -n 172.16.16.113 255.255.255.252 | grep Network | awk '{print $2}' 172.16.16.112/30

ISC Dig and Host Dig and host from BIND are extremely useful but ISC no longer supplies Windoze builds so use Chocolatey to install the bind-toolsonly package. choco install bind-toolsonly If you use the host command and notice that the search suffixes aren't working: * Create the file

nmap

Nmap & ZenMap Nmap --disable-arp-ping By default nmap considers any device that responds to ARP to be “up”. If you happen to be WFH, say due to a global pandemic, and on VPN, the VPN client might respond to every ARP request making it look like EVERY IP is up.

Password Management This is mostly so I can remember the names of them the next time I need something to solve the password problem. * Pleasant Password Server - Used this years ago. It worked well and is basically KeePass with a web front end. Hopefully has things like a browser extension now.

remote_desktop_manager

Remote Desktop Manager This is about the software from Devolutions. To create a desktop shortcut that opens a session: * Open properties for the session * Select Entry information * There's a Create desktop shortcut button next to the Database ID This was hard to find because they use the term shortcut to refer to something else within the app.

Or, I just don't use it very often and sometimes forget about it. * Atom - sometimes a pain but free, extremely flexible, and does really good regex. * AutoHotKey - the one thing that makes Window bearable (this and StrokePlus.net)

tcpdump

tcpdump An assortment of capture filters because my brain has other things to remember and “port not 22” never sticks. This guy has a longer list: Note: The “not” goes after the command, e.g. port not 22. # no lookups (DNS or port, OMFG I hate the port names) and specify the interface tcpdump -nni eth0 # src or dst tcpdump -nn host 1.1.1.1 tcpdump -nn src 1.1.1.1 and dst 1.0.0.1 # not port 22 tcpdump port not 22 # you can also use src/dst wi…

Test TLS Versions You can test TLS version on a website with either OpenSSL or Nmap. Nmap Nmap includes a script to check SSL/TLS versions. The grepped version just shows the TLS versions supported. More info on the Nmap script on nmap.org. nmap -sV --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 example.com nmap -sV --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 example.com | grep TLSv
