This command is composed of two parts: the first part retrieves the content from a specific URL using the HTTP GET method, and the second part performs an attack using the Vegeta tool for a specified duration.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

echo "${GET https:--example-com}": This part uses the echo command to send a string to the standard output. The string is "${GET https:--example-com}". The "${GET ...}" syntax is usually recognized by tools like Vegeta to specify an HTTP request. In this case, it is a GET request to the URL "https://example.com".
|: The pipe symbol "|" is used to redirect the output of the previous command as input to the next command.
vegeta attack -duration=${30s}: This part executes the Vegeta attack with a specific duration. Here, Vegeta is the HTTP load testing tool being used. The "attack" command tells Vegeta to start the attack. The "-duration=${30s}" flag specifies the duration of the attack, which is set to 30 seconds (${30s} is a shell variable for 30 seconds).

In summary, this command sends an HTTP GET request to "https://example.com" and uses the Vegeta tool to attack the target URL for a duration of 30 seconds.
