Using Command Prompt Hacks for Windows Users 8. Shutdown System Using Command Prompt You can now use command prompt tricks to shut down or restart your system using simple commands. Shutdown the system: just type 'shutdown -s' in the command line. Restart the system: simply type 'shutdown -r'. You can also add a time constraint
and message box for more interactivity, like specifying when you want the shutdown to occur and displaying a warning message to users. In this tutorial on Command Prompt hacks, we've shown how Windows Command Prompt lets you do advanced tasks in your system. You've learned various command tricks that make anyone feel like a pro user. To

We'd love to help if you have any questions related to this tutorial on Command Prompt hacks - just leave them in the comment section below. Our team will get back to you ASAP. It's
interesting that many new hackers come from Windows environments but rarely use its built-in command line tools. As a hacker, you'll often need to control target systems using only Windows commands without relying on a GUI. This lesson shows essential Windows CMD commands by executing them from a remote Kali system on the target. To
navigate through directories, use 'cd' followed by '..' to move up one directory level or just type 'dir' to list the contents of the current directory. You can create new directories with 'md ' and delete files using 'del '. Other useful commands include: - Displaying a file's contents with 'type ', - Copying files with 'copy ', - Moving or renaming files with
'move ', - Listing all running processes with 'tasklist', - Terminating a process using its PID with 'taskkill /PID /F', - Displaying network configuration with 'ipconfig', and - Showing active network connections and listening ports with 'netstat'. You can even filter the list of processes to find a specific one with 'tasklist | findstr '. And don't forget, you can
use commands like 'ping' to check if a system is reachable. Test network connectivity with `ping www.google.com` or use `tracert ` to trace packet routes. Manage user accounts with `net user`, displaying all users or specific details like administrator credentials. Use `whoami` to show the current logged-in user and maintain stealthy access by
terminating security-related processes. Run applications on the target system, such as launching Internet Explorer with `iexplore `. Utilize `start ` to start specified programs (e.g., Notepad). Gather detailed information about the system's hardware and software configuration using `systeminfo` or interact with Windows Management Instrumentation
via `wmic cpu get name, maxclockspeed, currentclockspeed`. Gain higher-level permissions on the target system by running commands as different user credentials with `runas /user: `. Understand and utilize these commands with significant ethical responsibilities. Ensure explicit permission for penetration testing or system control activities.
Unauthorized access or control is illegal and unethical. Use these skills to improve security and protect systems, not to exploit vulnerabilities unlawfully. Correct command syntax by replacing `from ` with `del `, fixing `tareakill` to `taskkill`, and ensuring `findtr` uses the correct syntax like `tasklist | findstr explorer`. Incorporate practical exercises
at the end of each section, such as navigating directories, creating/deleting folders, listing/terminating processes, or executing a browser to visit a controlled web server. Visual enhancements include clearly labeled screenshots that accurately correspond to demonstrated commands. Understanding System Information and Privilege Escalation
Techniques To gain persistent access to a target system, it's essential to gather detailed information about its configuration and identify potential vulnerabilities. The following commands can be used to achieve this: systeminfo: This command provides an overview of the computer's hardware and software environment, including the operating system
version and installed updates. wmic cpu get name, maxclockspeed, currentclockspeed: These commands retrieve information about the CPU, its name, and clock speeds. 1tasklist | findstr "payload" Explanation: Executing your payload is essential for establishing a backdoor or maintaining access to the target system. Verifying that the payload is
running ensures that your actions have been successful and that you can rely on this access for future operations. Commands: del C:\Windows\Temp\Payloads\payload.exe Deletes the payload executable after execution. 1del C:\Windows\Temp\Payloads\payload.exe 1rmdir C:\Windows\Temp\Payloads Explanation: Cleaning up by deleting your payloads
and removing directories helps in erasing evidence of your presence on the system. This step is crucial for maintaining stealth and reducing the chances of your activities being discovered during system audits or security scans. File System Navigation & Management: System Information: User and Account Management: net user whoami whoami
/groups Process Management: tasklist findstr taskkill start Being a powerful tool, CMD (Command Prompt) lets users do anything they want on a Windows system or laptop via CLI. There are many common examples such as MD, CD, Ping and sfc which users are mostly aware of so we shall not get into them. We bring you the most advanced, useful
and ethical hacker commands for Windows 11 that will help you to be a power user. Enable NetBIOS in Windows 11 For this: You need first to open the “network connection”. Once done, click right and choose “properties”. After this, you need to select “TCP/IP” and hit “properties” once again. Click on “advanced” followed by the “WINS” tab. Next,
choose “default for NetBIOS”. Back to the main local area connection window, select “file and print sharing for Microsoft Networks” and press “Enter”. Follow the steps to enable it; we shall have a lot of fun with NetBIOS on CMD. Now, if you are not aware of how to get CMD click the Windows icon present at the left-hand bottom of all the Windows
versions and hit “start”. Click run from the start, type in “cmd” without any quotes. 12 Best Windows 11 CMD Hacking Commands That Are Very Useful Nslookup This one has many functions for the users. It can resolve DNS into IP. Like if you know the site URL but are unaware of its IP and wish to find it out. Usage example: nslookup
www.washingtonpost.com (www.washingtonpost.com is the site and you are trying to find out its IP). The best thing about this is that it can find IP of certain Mail Servers. Syntax: nslookup set type=mx dekisoft.com This command shall be able to provide the mail server IP of dekisoft.com. There is no limitation of using a server use anyone you want
and if it is present on the list of DNS then you shall get the IP. Moreover, also send in a spoof email to your friends and close relatives by using IP address of the mail server. Ping With this, you shall be able to know whether the host you are pinging is alive or not which means if it is up at the time of executing the ping command. Ping x.x.x.x (x is IP
address), you can also give a try to 8.8.8.8 which belongs to Google. Arp Use this to have a show of the ARP table. Moreover, you can also get to know if anyone has done arp Given article text here Looking at the provided list of commands, we have several options for exploring and manipulating our network settings on Windows. The command "arp -
a" is a good starting point, as it provides an interesting view of where packets might be traveling to reach their final destination. Similarly, "Tracert x.x.x.x" can help us understand the route that packets take before reaching the target box. If we know the IP address of a website like www.bing.com, using "Tracert" can show us various beneficial
information such as Gateway, IP, DNS in use and more. The command "Ipconfig /all" is also helpful to get more detailed information about our network settings. For dynamic IP users who want to change their IP address, we can use the commands "Ipconfig /release" and "Ipconfig /renew". Another useful option for viewing routing tables and other
network-related information is "Route print". We can reset Windows user passwords using the command "Net user yourusername *". We also have "Netstat" which gives us connection stats of the networks available, and various extensions like "netstat -a", "netstat -n", and "netstat -an". Additionally, commands like "Net view x.x.x.x or name of the
computer" list all available sharing folders on the target box. The command "Tasklist" can open up the task manager in the CLI, while "Taskkill /PID 1479 /F" allows us to kill a specific process with the specified PID. We also have "Net view Myfriendsdesktop or computername" which displays a complete list of resources, systems, or domains shared by
a certain system. Finally, we can use the command "net use D: \yourlaptop\C$" to connect to the target as an administrator and browse the complete C drive. Using the "Type any command /help or Type any command /?" command helps us find what a certain command does. The conclusion is that there are hundreds of commands in CMD.exe, but it's
essential to know the useful ones for our network needs. It's often underutilized in ethical hacking, which is why our list provides the top 12 tools that offer the most comprehensive and technical info - including IP addresses, configurations, and detailed pinging data.
