======EoCE hints======

=====0x0=====

  * Take note of the stated assumptions.
  * How might you utilize those in coming up with a solution?

=====0x1=====

  * Trouble using **dd(1)**? Try this [[/haas/spring2018/unix/projects/dd_tutorial|dd tutorial]] I wrote.
  * Remember that **parts** are __pieces__ of a **whole**
  * Don't read from AND write to the same file at the same time.

=====0x2=====

  * Problems with **seq(1)**?

<cli>
lab46:~$ seq 1 10
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
</cli>

  * How about by an offset?

<cli>
lab46:~$ seq 1 2 10
1
3
5
7
9
</cli>

  * How about backwards?

<cli>
lab46:~$ seq 5 -1 0
5
4
3
2
1
0
</cli>

  * How to use in a loop?

<code bash>
for value in `seq 1 2 10`; do
</code>

  * Or based on variables?

<code bash>
for value in `seq ${start} ${step} ${stop}`; do
</code>

  * What, you mean I could have totally done that back then and saved myself all the hassle I went through?

<cli>
lab46:~$ # yes
</cli>

  * Also, some usage examples:

<cli>
lab46:~$ ./pwn1.sh 12 17 idbase with3 with7

Also, it won't be the end of the world if you don't implement **signed**. I'm making that particular thing optional.
=====0x3=====

  * **authorized_keys** might be something worth exploring
  * your home directory follows you to the pi's, just as it does to the pods
  * permissions on related files and directories are VERY important

=====0x4=====

  * look inside readable text files. Useful information can be had that way.

=====0x5=====

  * Some usage examples:

<cli>
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh
14
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh fullname
week14
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh fullname lastweek
week13
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh nextweek
15
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh start=monday
13
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh start=monday nextweek fullname
week14
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh 20180402 fullname
break2
lab46:~$ ./catweek.sh 20180402 fullname nobreaks
week11
</cli>
