This got all sorts of fun shell tricks in the replies. If you have more, please add them. They will surely be new to someone.

@cR0w all the small reminders to maybe NOT use fish shell

[etchedpixels@mastodon.social]

@cR0w Not a lot of people know that you can also s/foo/bar to correct the line above in unixy discord at least

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@etchedpixels I didn't know either. Neat.

@cR0w

i've been using unix command line shells for literally decades on a daily basis. i still learn new tricks (or relearn forgotten tricks) pretty often.

[cr0w@infosec.exchange]

@paul_ipv6 Same. That's why this is so fun.

@cR0w @briankrebs Uh, nice stuff, added my 2 cents.

@cR0w try this neat command:

dir

[kajer@infosec.exchange]

@catsalad @cR0w

'dir' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

tl;dr: I made funny and possibly insulting DNS records!

For DNS domains and systems I managed I used the "nslookup" command - which required you to type "exit" to get out. For some reason my brain insisted on typing "quit" first - which always ended up with nslookup trying to look up the record "quit".

So I made one. It pointed to another machine named "type-exit-you-idiot" which was enough to jog my memory so I could get out of this utility.

This worked great until another member of staff also used nslookup and typed "quit"...

Thankfully they also found that funny. I changed the record after that.
