I find it really cool that linux has many built-in features for development, coding, and just playing around. For example:
/dev/random
Random-byte generator. Example use:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=~/urandom_test count=4 bs=1024
and you have a 4K file filled with random bytes.
/usr/share/cracklib/
Just a collection of ~470,000 english words common passwords.
yes
Continuously outputs the character y\n, for whatever reason.
What other cool gimmicks are there?
