history:

sudo / su
head / tail
less / more
ping
cd / mkdir / rmdir
pwd
ls
vi
cat
grep # <-- !!!
systemctl
journalctl
top / htop / iotop
tshark / tcpdump
ps
nc / telnet
ssh / scp / sftp
rsync
find
echo
tar
gzip / bzip2 / xz
(z|bz|xz)(cat|grep)
sort
mount / umount
crontab
apt / yum / snap / ???
chmod
chown
cp / mv / rm
perl # <-- if you want to corrupt the next generation
man / info / apropos
host / nslookup / dig
bash -> alias, while, for, if, etc.
dd / ddrescue
