Top 5 most useful linux tools for Programmer

Linux is a free and open-source software operating systems built around the Linux kernel. It typically packaged in a form known as a Linux distribution for both desktop and server use. It is a great development environment for programmers and developers. However, without the development tools, that would be impossible. Fortunately, plenty of Linux tools are available. Here are the top 5 most useful Linux tools for programmers.

5 Most Useful Linux tools for Programmers

1. VIM

VIM is a free and open source software written by Bram Moolenaar in 1991. It is designed for use both from a command-line interface and as a standalone application in a graphical user interface. It comes standard with almost every Linux distribution and is also known as "the programmer's editor". VIM is great for coding and can also be used for editing things like configuration files and XML documents.

Vim has been developed to be a cross-platform that supports many other platforms. In 2006, it was voted as the most popular editor amongst Linux Journal readers. In 2015, Stack Overflow developer survey found it to be the third most popular text editor while in 2016, the Stack Overflow developer survey found it to be the fourth most popular development environment.

2. Zsh

Zsh is written in C and initially released in 1990. It is a Unix shell that can be used as an interactive login shell and as a powerful command interpreter for shell scripting. Zsh is an extended version of Bourne shell (BASH) with a large number of improvements, including some features of Bash, ksh, and tcsh. Zsh gives a user-friendly experience on the command line. It also gives better auto-completion, Vim key bindings, and smart guesses when you write a command wrong.

Its features include (but not limited to):

Programmable command-line completion,
Sharing of command history among all running shells
Extended file globbing
Improved variable/array handling
Editing of multi-line commands in a single buffer
Spelling correction
Various compatibility modes,
Themeable prompts, and
Loadable modules.

3. Byobu

It was initially released in 2009 written in Sh and Python. Byobu can be used to provide on-screen notification or status and tabbed multi-window management. Thus, it is intended to improve terminal sessions when users connect to remote servers with an operating system Linux and Unix-like. It is is an enhancement for the GNU Screen terminal multiplexer or tmux used with the GNU/Linux computer operating system.

4. GIT

Git was initially released on April 7, 2005. It is a version control system to track changes in computer files and to coordinate work on those files among multiple people. It is primarily used for source code management in software development and can be used to keep track of changes in any set of files available in the English language. It is aimed at speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows. It is free and open source software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.

Moreover, Linus Torvalds was the creator of GIT for the development of the Linux kernel. On the other hand, its current maintainer since then is Junio Hamano. Thus, every Git directory on every computer is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version tracking abilities, independent of network access or a central server.

5. Docker

Written by Solomon Hykes in 2013, it is a computer program that performs operating-system-level virtualization, the containerization, which is developed by Docker, Inc. Primarily, Docker was developed for Linux to use as the resource isolation features of the Linux kernel. It is a tool that can package an application and its dependencies in a virtual container that can run on any Linux server. This helps enable the flexibility and portability on where the application can run, whether on premises, public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, etc. Moreover, it accesses the Linux kernel's virtualization features either directly using the libcontainer library.

Welcome back, hope you are enjoying this series, I don't know about you but I'm enjoying it a lot. This is part 3 of the series and in this article we're going to learn some new commands. Let's get started

Command: w
Syntax: w
Function: This simple function is used to see who is currently logged in and what they are doing, that is, their processes.

Command: whoami
Syntax:   whoami
Function: This is another simple command which is used to print the user name associated with the current effective user ID.

Try it and it will show up your user name.

If you want to know information about a particular user no matter whether it is you or someone else there is a command for doing that as well.

Command: finger
Syntax: finger [option] [username]
Function: finger is a user information lookup program. The [] around the arguments means that these arguments are optional this convention is used everywhere in this whole series.

In order to find information about your current user you can simply type:

finger username

Here username is your current username.
To find information about root you can type:

finger root

and it will display info about root user.

Command: uname
Syntax: uname [options]
Function:   uname is used to display information about the system.

uname is mostly used with the flag -a, which means display all information like this:

uname -a

Command: df
Syntax: df [option] [FILE ...]
Function:   df is used to display the amount of space available.
If you type df in your terminal and then hit enter you'll see the used and available space of every drive currently mounted on the system. However the information is displayed in block-size, which is not so much human friendly. But don't worry we can have a human friendly output as well using df by typing:

df -h

the -h flag is used to display the used and available space in a more user friendly format.
We can also view the info of a single drive by specifying the drive name after df like this:

df -h /dev/sda2

That's it for now about df, let's move on.

Command: free
Syntax:   free [options]
Function: free is used to display the amount of free and used physical memory and swap memory in the system.
Again the displayed information is in block-size to get a more human readable format use the -h flag like this:

free -h

Command: cal
Syntax: cal [options]
Function: cal stands for calendar. It is used to display the calendar.

If you want to display current date on the calendar you can simply type:

cal

and wohooo! you get a nice looking calendar on screen with current date marked but what if you want to display calendar of a previous month well you can do that as well. Say you want to display calendar of Jan 2010, then you'll have to type:

cal -d 2010-01

Nice little handy tool, isn't it?

Command: file
Syntax: file filename ...
Function:   file is an awesome tool, it's used to classify a file. It is used to determine the file type.

Let's demonstrate the usage of this command by solving a Noob's CTF challenge using file and base64 commands. We'll talk about base64 command in a bit. Go to InfoSecInstitute CTF Website. What you need to do here is to save the broken image file on your local computer in your home directory. After saving the file open your terminal (if it isn't already). Move to your home directory and then check what type of file it is using the file command:

cd
file image.jpg

Shocking output? The file command has identified the above file as an ASCII text file which means the above file is not an image file rather it is a text file now it's time to see it's contents so we'll type:

cat image.jpg

What is that? It's some kind of gibberish. Well it's base64 encoded text. We need to decode it. Let's learn how to do that.

Command: base64
Syntax:   base64 [option] FILE ...
Function: base64 command is used to encode/decode data and then print it to stdout.

If we're to encode some text in base64 format we'd simply type base64 hit enter and then start typing the text in the terminal after you're done hit enter again and then press CTRL+D like this:

base64
some text here
<CTRL+D>
c29tZSB0ZXh0IGhlcmUK # output - the encoded string

But in the above CTF we've got base64 encoded data we need to decode it, how are we going to do that? It's simple:

base64 -d image.jpg

There you go you've captured the flag.
The -d flag here specifies that we want to decode instead of encode and after it is the name of file we want to decode.

Voila!
So now you're officially a Hacker! Sorry no certificates available here :)

That's it for this article meet ya soon in the upcoming article.
