Introduction
I have to perform a find and replace of text in files for an entire directory structure. I do not do this often, so I have to look it up every time. Unfortunately, it takes more time to look up than I would expect so here are some example.
Example #1
Find all files named "Root" and replace the text "FIND_ME" with the text "REPLACE_WITH"
find . -name Root -exec sed -i 's/FIND_ME/REPLACE_WITH/g' '{}' \;

TcpDump
Introduction
A project I was working on required me to verify network traffic activity over specific ports. I have not had much experience doing this but I knew Linux tcpdump would be my tool of choice. Unfortunately, I was working in a Windows environment but it was easy enough to find a port of tcpdump for Windows.
Download
I found MicroOlap had an easy to use port of tcpdump available for download.

Installation
Installation is simple, just unzip it.
Find Your Network Interface (Device)
Your computer may have more than one network interface. A laptop will have an Ethernet card for a network cable but it will also have a wireless Ethernet card. You need to know which one you are using and tell tcpdump to listen for network traffic on the device. To get a list of devices on your computer, use the -D switch.
Listen for Incoming Traffic on a Specific Port
After determining your interface, run the following command to listen for incoming traffic on a specific port.
-i 5 Specifies to which interface to use, which in this example is #5 above.
%PORT_NUMBER% Is replaced with the port number to listen for incoming traffic.
There is a lot more to tcpdump, but that is enough for now.
