"Netcat is a featured networking utility which reads and writes data across network connections, using the TCP/IP protocol". This command feature isn't built within the shell, so it is used externally. It's very helpful when connecting or "surfing" across the different networks. http://netcat.sourceforge.net/ (Giovanni Giacobbi, 2006)

"The mv command is a command line utility that moves files or directories from one place to another". This shell command also helps with organization. Being able to move files if correctly placed, or because you want to delete a certain directory to clean up the clutter, could help immensely. https://shapeshed.com/unix-mv/ (George Ornbo, 2016)

"The cd command, which stands for "change directory", changes the shell's current working directory". This is useful when trying to keep all your files organized. If you can create, and move between different directories on a whim, it becomes more difficult to clutter up a single directory with unrelated files. https://www.computerhope.com/unix/ucd.htm (Computer Hope, 2018)

"LS" is a Linux shell command that lists directory contents of files and directories". Depending on the different syntax of "LS", given by the user, the command could display the contents in different types of ways. It can display the files using only it's inode number, it can display them in reverse order, by file size, by date/time, etc. It's very useful when trying to sort through directories. https://www.rapidtables.com/code/linux/ls.html (RapidTables, 2018)

" Grep is a small Unix program for finding matching patterns". You can compare anything from words to sentences, though they are case sensitive, unless stated otherwise. You can also use the "grep" feature to search for specific files in the directory.  https://www.maketecheasier.com/what-is-grep-and-uses/ (Nick Congleton, 2017)
