In this course, you will get the chance to explore the command-line interface (CLI), starting with basics like navigating file systems and working with directories and files. Then, you will use those building blocks to tackle more advanced features and tasks within the CLI. You will also learn to turn basic commands into executable scripts and easily automate common tasks. This course will empower you to put the interface to work, take complete control of your computer, and hack your way to productivity.

Harnessing the Power of the Command-Line Interface

# Using `netcat`

We already used `curl` to grab web pages, but `netcat` can do that too. However, `netcat` makes us do it a little more interactively.

First, run this command:

```bash
$ nc www.google.com 80
```

A blank line greets us because `netcat` is expecting some input. We’re going to craft our own HTTP request by hand. We type the following two lines:

```bash
GET / HTTP/1.1
HOST: google.com
```

Then, we press the “Enter” key once more to send a blank line, and we see the response from the server, including the headers and source code for the Google home page stream out to the screen.
