  1. Inspecting Network Interfaces:
    Use the ifconfig command to view detailed information about your system's network interfaces. Locate the section corresponding to the eth0 interface and identify its IP address. Based on previously learned techniques, create a one-liner command that extracts and displays only the IP address of this interface.

  2. Retrieving CPU Information:
    To check processor details, read the contents of the /proc/cpuinfo file. Extract the processor name using a concise one-liner command.

  3. Checking Memory Stats:
    Access the /proc/meminfo file to gather memory information. Compose a one-liner command that outputs both the total installed memory and the currently available memory.

  4. Tracing Network Routes:
    Use the traceroute google.com command to trace the network path to Google's server. Save the output to a file named routes.txt using standard output redirection.

  5. Filtering Traceroute Output:
    Display the contents of routes.txt, omitting any lines that contain * * * to remove unresolved hops from the output.
