// Command line commands
**Address**
shh-keygen --> will create two files
1. key1 - is the private key
2. key1.pub - is the public key
cat key1 // see what inside the file
sha256sum key1.pub // will hash and generate the address
//convert this HEX message to ASCII text in your command line by typing the following:
echo 5468652054696d65732030332f4a616e2f32303039204368616e63656c6c6f72206f6e206272696e6b206f66207365636f6e64206261696c6f757420666f722062616e6b73 | xxd -r -p
echo this text is going to hash > fileName.txt // creating the file with the string added
cat fileName.txt // read the txt file
sha256sum fileName.txt // checking the hash of the file
--> Other Hash functions: MD5 SHA256 SHA1 SHA2
RSA keys
openssl genrsa -out rsa.private 1024 // generate private key name file rsa.private
openssl rsa -in rsa.private -out rsa.public -pubout -outform PEM // To generate the public key
**Python commands**
Python --version // Check Phyhon version
int (0x0f2217) --> 991767 // convert to number
hex(3984239487239482934723947) // convert to hex number
.zfill(64) // adding zeros
Python3 // loging to pyhton consol
**Web3 lib**
from web3 import IPCProvider, web3 //
w3 = Web3(IPCProvider))
w3.eth. // tab twise to check the commands
we.eth.getBlock(blockNumber)["function"] // for exanmple getting the difficulty of block
myBlock = w3.eth.getBlock(987654)
print = (*myBlock.item(), sep='\\n') // print the block with seperation easy to read
Once you connect/SSH to your Ubuntu machine, run the following commands to install some packages and libraries that we will need
sudo apt-get install (to install APT - Advanced Package Tools)
sudo apt-get update (for updating a package)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum (to install the ethereym repository repository)
sudo apt-get update (to update the package)
sudo apt-get install ethereum (to install the latest version of Ethereum Go/Geth)
We are now ready to go! Now that we have installed Geth, you can take a look at the help option by typing
geth –help.
geth — syncmode=fast // synchronize the node you have 3 types: fast light , full.
geth attach // JS console
eth and double tab will auto fill the commends
eth.getBlock(blockNumber) // get block info
eth.getBlock(blockHash // same as block number gets the info
eth.getBlock(blockNumber, true) // adding transactions info
