Linux wi-fi commands: The iwlist and iwconfig utilities are key for managing Wi-Fi from the Linux command line.

Web browsing with cURL: cURL makes HTTP requests from a terminal - in Mac, Linux, and modern Windows!

Adding data to cURL requests: When sending a POST request with data, add --data-binary to your curl command followed by the data you want to send.
