I agree whole-fully. I know many "experts" in various areas such as programming, web dev, security, and a few others.

Rare are the ones who know how to use these basic commandline tools.

The last time I've shown ngrep to a sysadmin he was like "omagad amazing" - always feels nice :)

But, that's not really an obscure tool. I initially thought everyone knew that, like most know nmap.

Turns out most know nmap and ssh because they're really that well known (generally they don't know most options)

Makes me sad! Command's line easy and fun!
