# Sysadmin Toolbox

Curated tool recommendations and practical shell one-liners for operational work.

## When to Auto-Consult

Load relevant references when user is:
- Debugging network connectivity, ports, traffic
- Troubleshooting DNS or SSL/TLS
- Analyzing processes, memory, disk usage
- Working with logs or system diagnostics
- Writing shell scripts or one-liners
- Asking "what's a good tool for..."
- Doing security audits or pentesting
- Working with containers/Docker/K8s

## Reference Files

| File | Use When |
|------|----------|
| `references/shell-oneliners.md` | Need practical commands for: terminal, networking, SSL, curl, ssh, tcpdump, git, awk, sed, grep, find |
| `references/cli-tools.md` | Recommending CLI tools: shells, file managers, network utils, databases, security tools |
| `references/web-tools.md` | Web-based tools: SSL checkers, DNS lookup, performance testing, OSINT, scanners |
| `references/security-tools.md` | Pentesting, vulnerability scanning, exploit databases, CTF resources |
| `references/shell-tricks.md` | Shell scripting patterns and tricks |

## Example Queries → Actions

**"Why is this port not responding?"**
→ Load shell-oneliners.md, search for netstat/ss/lsof commands

**"What's a good tool for testing SSL?"**
→ Load cli-tools.md SSL section, recommend testssl.sh or sslyze

**"Show me how to find large files"**
→ Load shell-oneliners.md, search for find/ncdu/du commands

**"I need to debug DNS resolution"**
→ Load shell-oneliners.md dig section + recommend dnsdiag from cli-tools.md
