This information is from Mounting partitions from full-disk ‘dd’ images:
If you are, as I am, a GCFA who attended Rob Lee’s famous training in the not-so-recent past, you probably still are “carving out” partitions from within an acquired full disk “dd” image by running it through another “dd”. Given how quickly the disk sizes are increasing, this is highly inefficient both in terms of disk space and analyst time used.
But there’s a better way. You already know how to use “loopback mount” on Linux to mount an image? Well, loopback mount supports an “offset” parameter that lets you mount a partition directly from within a larger full-disk image.
Thusly:

You must set cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.
Disk image-sda: 0 MB, 0 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 0 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
image-sda1 * 63 78140159 39070048+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(1023, 254, 63) logical=(4863, 254, 63)
root@ubuntu:/media/disk-1# mount -o ro,loop,offset=32256 -t auto image-sda /media/image

The magic “32256” offset passed to “mount” is easily explained as the start of the partition you are interested in (63 in this case) multiplied by the unit size (512 in this case). If you have more than one partition, just repeat the above steps for the other slices.There you go. This easily saves several hours and untold gigabytes of disk space compared to the GCFA “carving out” method.

You can force a module to use a different VID/UID (for example, qcserial):
modprobe foo_driver
echo 34ca d365 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo_driver/new_id
or, for usb-serial devices:
modprobe qcserial debug=1
echo 04da 250f > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/qcserial/new_id
You can add multiple IDs:
echo 34ca d365 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo_driver/new_id
echo 1cc2 5299 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo_driver/new_id

FILE SPACING:
# double space a file
sed G
# double space a file which already has blank lines in it. Output file
# should contain no more than one blank line between lines of text.
sed '/^$/d;G'
# triple space a file
sed 'G;G'
# undo double-spacing (assumes even-numbered lines are always blank)
sed 'n;d'
# insert a blank line above every line which matches "regex"
sed '/regex/{x;p;x;}'
# insert a blank line below every line which matches "regex"
sed '/regex/G'
# insert a blank line above and below every line which matches "regex"
sed '/regex/{x;p;x;G;}'
NUMBERING:
# number each line of a file (simple left alignment). Using a tab (see
# note on '\t' at end of file) instead of space will preserve margins.
sed = filename | sed 'N;s/\n/\t/'
# number each line of a file (number on left, right-aligned)
sed = filename | sed 'N; s/^/ /; s/ *\(.\{6,\}\)\n/\1 /'
# number each line of file, but only print numbers if line is not blank
sed '/./=' filename | sed '/./N; s/\n/ /'
# count lines (emulates "wc -l")

SPECIAL APPLICATIONS:
# remove nroff overstrikes (char, backspace) from man pages. The 'echo'
# command may need an -e switch if you use Unix System V or bash shell.
sed "s/.`echo \\\b`//g" # double quotes required for Unix environment
sed 's/.^H//g' # in bash/tcsh, press Ctrl-V and then Ctrl-H
sed 's/.\x08//g' # hex expression for sed v1.5
# get Usenet/e-mail message header
sed '/^$/q' # deletes everything after first blank line
# get Usenet/e-mail message body
sed '1,/^$/d' # deletes everything up to first blank line
# get Subject header, but remove initial "Subject: " portion
sed '/^Subject: */!d; s///;q'
# get return address header
sed '/^Reply-To:/q; /^From:/h; /./d;g;q'
# parse out the address proper. Pulls out the e-mail address by itself
# from the 1-line return address header (see preceding script)
sed 's/ *(.*)//; s/>.*//; s/.*[:<] *//'
# add a leading angle bracket and space to each line (quote a message)
sed 's/^/> /'
# delete leading angle bracket & space from each line (unquote a message)
sed 's/^> //'
# remove most HTML tags (accommodates multiple-line tags)
sed -e :a -e 's/<[^>]*>//g;/</N;//ba'
# extract multi-part uuencoded binaries, removing extraneous header
# info, so that only the uuencoded portion remains. Files passed to
# sed must be passed in the proper order. Version 1 can be entered
# from the command line; version 2 can be made into an executable
# Unix shell script. (Modified from a script by Rahul Dhesi.)
sed '/^end/,/^begin/d' file1 file2 ... fileX | uudecode # vers. 1
sed '/^end/,/^begin/d' "$@" | uudecode # vers. 2
# zip up each .TXT file individually, deleting the source file and
# setting the name of each .ZIP file to the basename of the .TXT file
# (under DOS: the "dir /b" switch returns bare filenames in all caps).
echo @echo off >zipup.bat
dir /b *.txt | sed "s/^\(.*\)\.TXT/pkzip -mo \1 \1.TXT/" >>zipup.bat
TYPICAL USE: Sed takes one or more editing commands and applies all of
them, in sequence, to each line of input. After all the commands have
been applied to the first input line, that line is output and a second
input line is taken for processing, and the cycle repeats. The
preceding examples assume that input comes from the standard input
device (i.e, the console, normally this will be piped input). One or
more filenames can be appended to the command line if the input does
not come from stdin. Output is sent to stdout (the screen). Thus:
cat filename | sed '10q' # uses piped input
sed '10q' filename # same effect, avoids a useless "cat"
sed '10q' filename > newfile # redirects output to disk
For additional syntax instructions, including the way to apply editing
commands from a disk file instead of the command line, consult "sed &
awk, 2nd Edition," by Dale Dougherty and Arnold Robbins (O'Reilly,
1997; http://www.ora.com), "UNIX Text Processing," by Dale Dougherty
and Tim O'Reilly (Hayden Books, 1987) or the tutorials by Mike Arst
distributed in U-SEDIT2.ZIP (many sites). To fully exploit the power
of sed, one must understand "regular expressions." For this, see
"Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl (O'Reilly, 1997).
The manual ("man") pages on Unix systems may be helpful (try "man
sed", "man regexp", or the subsection on regular expressions in "man
ed"), but man pages are notoriously difficult. They are not written to
teach sed use or regexps to first-time users, but as a reference text
for those already acquainted with these tools.
QUOTING SYNTAX: The preceding examples use single quotes ('...')
instead of double quotes ("...") to enclose editing commands, since
sed is typically used on a Unix platform. Single quotes prevent the
Unix shell from intrepreting the dollar sign ($) and backquotes
(`...`), which are expanded by the shell if they are enclosed in
double quotes. Users of the "csh" shell and derivatives will also need
to quote the exclamation mark (!) with the backslash (i.e., \!) to
properly run the examples listed above, even within single quotes.
Versions of sed written for DOS invariably require double quotes
("...") instead of single quotes to enclose editing commands.
USE OF '\t' IN SED SCRIPTS: For clarity in documentation, we have used
the expression '\t' to indicate a tab character (0x09) in the scripts.
However, most versions of sed do not recognize the '\t' abbreviation,
so when typing these scripts from the command line, you should press
the TAB key instead. '\t' is supported as a regular expression
metacharacter in awk, perl, and HHsed, sedmod, and GNU sed v3.02.80.
VERSIONS OF SED: Versions of sed do differ, and some slight syntax
variation is to be expected. In particular, most do not support the
use of labels (:name) or branch instructions (b,t) within editing
commands, except at the end of those commands. We have used the syntax
which will be portable to most users of sed, even though the popular
GNU versions of sed allow a more succinct syntax. When the reader sees
a fairly long command such as this:
sed -e '/AAA/b' -e '/BBB/b' -e '/CCC/b' -e d
it is heartening to know that GNU sed will let you reduce it to:
sed '/AAA/b;/BBB/b;/CCC/b;d' # or even
sed '/AAA\|BBB\|CCC/b;d'
In addition, remember that while many versions of sed accept a command
like "/one/ s/RE1/RE2/", some do NOT allow "/one/! s/RE1/RE2/", which
contains space before the 's'. Omit the space when typing the command.
OPTIMIZING FOR SPEED: If execution speed needs to be increased (due to
large input files or slow processors or hard disks), substitution will
be executed more quickly if the "find" expression is specified before
giving the "s/.../.../" instruction. Thus:
sed 's/foo/bar/g' filename # standard replace command
sed '/foo/ s/foo/bar/g' filename # executes more quickly
sed '/foo/ s//bar/g' filename # shorthand sed syntax
On line selection or deletion in which you only need to output lines
from the first part of the file, a "quit" command (q) in the script
will drastically reduce processing time for large files. Thus:
sed -n '45,50p' filename # print line nos. 45-50 of a file
sed -n '51q;45,50p' filename # same, but executes much faster

For example, copy .mp3 files into a new location, preserving the underlying directory structure:
find . -iname *.mp3 -print | cpio -padv --block-size=16384 /dest/mp3/
Or, copy files OLDER than a specific data, preserving the underlying directory structure:
find . -not -newermt "2024-01-01" -print | cpio -padv -block-size=16384 /tmp
Note: cpio is very slow, even with larger block sizes (4 MB/second slow). Maybe try this instead:
find . -type f -not -newermt "2024-01-01" -exec cp --parents '{}' /tmp \;

You need the nobrl option in order for sqlite to work correctly. See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53226642/sqlite3-database-is-locked-in-azure.
For example:
sudo mount.cifs //$IP/$volume /mnt/$volume -o username=$user,uid=$user,gid=$user,nobrl
On Debian:
sudo apt install dateutils
The Debian package prefixes the commands with dateutils., which
allows you to:

Allow a single user to run a single command as root without a password:
user ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/xxx arg1 arg2

This might not be the best way, but it works.
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-xxx.rules :
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="aaaa", ATTRS{idProduct}=="bbbb", GROUP="group", mode="0660"
You may or may not need to udevadm control --reload-rules
cat urls.html | grep -hEo "(http|https)://[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_%:-]*" | sort -u
Even better:
#!/bin/bash
tmp=$(mktemp)
for i in "$@"
do
grep -hEo "(http|https)://[a-zA-Z0-9./?=_%:-]*" "$i" >> "$tmp"
done
LC_ALL="C" sort -u "$tmp"
rm "$tmp"
