## What it is
A curated cheat sheet of Linux command-line tips, tricks, and hacks from The Hacker's Choice, covering bash stealth techniques, SSH tunneling, networking, file transfer, and reverse shells. It is a markdown reference document rather than runnable software, aimed at readers who already know Linux.

## Use cases
- learn linux command line tricks for pentesting
- find reverse shell one-liners
- set up ssh tunnels and pivoting
- hide processes and network connections on linux
- transfer files between machines from the terminal
- reference for red team operations

## When to choose
- you are a pentester or red teamer wanting a quick reference of battle-tested shell tricks
- you already know Linux and want concise commands without explanations
- you need a collection of file transfer and tunneling one-liners

## When to avoid
- you are a Linux beginner needing explanations of why commands work
- you want a tool or library to install rather than documentation
- you need guaranteed licensed or audited content for compliance-sensitive work

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: security, penetration-testing, networking, ssh, developer-tools
- domain: security, penetration-testing, networking, tutorials
- platform: cli
- tags: cheat-sheet, pentesting, red-team, bash-tricks, reverse-shell, offensive-security, documentation, command-line, linux
