- for matches in your bookmarks.%
- for matches in your currently open tabs.#
- for matches in page titles.@
- for matches in web addresses.

Bypass WAFs by Shortening IP Address (byIP addresses can be shortened by dropping the zeroes:
http://1.0.0.1 → http://1.1
http://127.0.0.1 → http://127.1
http://192.168.0.1 → http://192.168.1
http://0xC0A80001 or http://3232235521 → 192.168.0.1
http://192.168.257 → 192.168.1.1
http://192.168.516 → 192.168.2.4
This bypasses WAF filters for SSRF, open-redirect, etc where any IP as input gets blacklisted.

awk 'length($0)>80{print FNR,$0}' filename
Print only lines of less than 80 characters
awk 'length < 80 filename
Print double new lines a file
awk '1; { print "" }' filename
Print line numbers
awk '{ print FNR "\t" $0 }' filename
awk '{ printf("%5d : %s\n", NR, $0) }' filename # in a fancy manner
Print line numbers for only non-blank lines
awk 'NF { $0=++a " :" $0 }; { print }' filename
Print the line and the next two (i=5) lines after the line matching regexp
awk '/foo/{i=5+1;}{if(i){i--; print;}}' filename
Print the lines starting at the line matching 'server {' until the line matching '}'
awk '/server {/,/}/' filename
Print multiple columns with separators
awk -F' ' '{print "ip:\t" $2 "\n port:\t" $3' filename

sed
Tool:Print a specific line from a file

sed -e ':a' -e 'N' -e '$!ba' -e 's/\n/ /g' /path/to/file
:a
create a labela
N
append the next line to the pattern space$!
if not the last line, ba branch (go to) labela
s
substitute,/\n/
regex for new line,/ /
by a space,/g
global match (as many times as it can)
