crtl+r(history search)
This one I didn't know this will be extremely helpful.
Ya it's nice, ctrl+a, ctrl+e, and ctrl+d are nice too so you can stay at "home" on the keyboard.

"sudo !!", "tail -f", the unholy trinity that is "grep/awk/sed", and vim (all from within tmux).
I don't use awk as much as I should, I essentially use it for a glorified csv reader haha

I LOVE LOVE LOVE htop

I honestly don't like htop very much. I prefer regular top. I find the output more useful.

htop works much better to see multi-CPU utilization though. Filtering is really nice too.

Ah, I never find CPU utilization to be something that I need to watch. Looks neat and impressive on the screen, but once I know the percentage of CPU, I don't care about seeing a chart, but I need to see load numbers, processes and memory stats.

Ping sweep a network with NMAP and just show up IP's:
sudo nmap -PO -sP -PE -n --open -v 10.1.1.1-10 | grep "scan report" | grep -v "host down" | sed 's/Nmap scan report for //g'
Only show down/available IP's:
sudo nmap -PO -sP -PE -n --open -v 10.1.1.1-10 | grep "host down" | sed 's/Nmap scan report for //g' | sed 's/ [host down]//g'
Ping a TCP port:

ping -Q 0xB8 10.1.1.1
Packet capture (CTRL + C when done):
