Run Multiple Commands In One Go

   

Our final trick of the day is one that many command line geeks may already know, the
ability to run multiple command at once by linking them with double ampersands.
You can do this with any commands and you can link up as many as you want:

 

ipconfig && netstat

View Your Hard Drive's Entire Directory Structure

I think one of the neatest little commands is the tree command. With tree, you can create a kind of map of your computer's directories.

Execute tree from any directory to see the folder structure under that directory.

Tip: With so much information, it's probably a good idea to export the results of the tree command to a file. For example, tree /a > c:\treeresults.txt,

Save a Command's Output to a File

An incredibly useful Command Prompt trick is the use of redirection operators, specifically the > and >> operators.

These little characters let you redirect the output of a command to a file, giving you a saved version of whatever data the command produced in the Command Prompt window.

Let's say you're about to post a computer problem to an online forum, like my computer support forum for example, and you want to provide really accurate information about your computer. An easy way to do that would be to use the systeminfo command with a redirection operator.

For example, you might execute systeminfo > c:\mycomputerinfo.txtto save the information provided by the systeminfo command to a file. You could then attach the file to your forum post.

Become a Command Prompt Power User with Function Keys

The fact that the function keys actually do something in the Command Prompt is maybe one of the best kept secrets about the tool:

F1: Pastes the last executed command (character by character)
F2: Pastes the last executed command (up to the entered character)
F3: Pastes the last executed commandF4: Deletes current prompt text up to the entered character
F5: Pastes recently executed commands (does not cycle)
F6: Pastes ^Z to the prompt
F7: Displays a selectable list of previously executed commands
F8: Pastes recently executed commands (cycles)
F9: Asks for the number of the command from the F7 list to paste

Command Prompt Trick #17 is full of arrow key shortcuts, a few of which are similar to these function key tricks.

Know if someone is hacking your computer/ Trace a Hacker

Want to know if someone is hacking your computer? Command Prompt can help you find if someone you don't know is connected to your computer stealing private data. Just execute netstat -a and the command prompt will return a list of computers that your computer is connected to. In the results returned, Proto column gives the type of data transmission taking place (TCP or UDP) , Local address column gives the port with which your computer is connected to an external computer and the Foreign Address column gives the external computer you are connected to along with the port being used for the connection. State gives the state of the connection (whether a connection is actually established, or waiting for transmission or is “Timed Out”).

How to create a new user account using Command Prompt?

This tutorial describes how to create a new user account in the Windows operating system using Command Prompt. The guide is helpful when dealing with ransomware or fake antivirus programs that block Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Networking. Cyber criminals responsible for developing malicious programs develop new methods to protect their bogus software from elimination - this includes blocking users' access to Safe Mode.

When dealing with security threats such as these, it is advisable to log out of the infected user account and run a security scan from an unaffected account. This, however, is only possible if your operating system has multiple active user accounts. If you computer is infected with a ransomware infection, and you cannot create a new user account using Control Panel, then use the following instructions:

1. Start your computer in Safe Mode with Command Prompt. During your computer start process, press the F8 key on your keyboard multiple times until the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, then select Safe mode with Command Prompt from the list and press ENTER.

2. When Command Prompt Mode loads, enter the following line: net user removevirus /add and press ENTER.

3. Next, enter this line: net localgroup administrators removevirus /add and press ENTER.

4. Finally, enter this line: shutdown -r and press ENTER.

5. Wait for your computer to restart, then boot your PC in Normal Mode and login to the newly-created user account ('removevirus'). This account will be unaffected by security infections and you will be able to download and install security software.

6. Use recommended malware removal software for detection and removal any security-related issues from your computer.

Note that some fake antivirus programs and ransomware infections are capable of infecting other user accounts on a system, so this method may not always work.

Process sniper - batch file

 

This is a small program I have been working on.  I have been working on it for a few hours in total so it still might have some bugs, but anyway.
The batch file contains two functions, 1.) it will list all the processes that are running on your computer and 2.) it can kill the process that you type in by either name (process.process extension e.g notepad.exe) or PID.  It also outputs all the process names you type in to an external file that is written over when you start the batch file again, the name of this file is configurable in the code under the variables at the top of the code.  It could easily save it anywhere on your hard drive with only very minor tweaks to the code.
here is the code:

 

 

@ECHO OFF
set version=1.6
set outputfile=log
set outfileext=txt
color 0a
title Process Sniper v%version%
echo Processes attempted to shut down in the last session:>%outputfile%.%outfileext%

echo 1.) List processes currently running
echo 2.) Snipe a process by name/PID
echo 3.) Exit Process Sniper v%version%

if errorlevel 2 set gt=kill
if errorlevel 3 set gt=close:
