Command Prompt Tricks
Well, There Will Be So many Guys
Who Just Love command Prompt
And For them i am posting Some
Command Prompt Tricks Here.
And there will be some Guys Who
Don’t know What Is Command
Prompt So Let Me Explain You
First:-
What Is Command Prompt?
cmd.exe or command prompt is
the command-line interpreter on
OS/2, Windows CE and on
Windows NT-based operating
systems (including Windows
2000, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003
and Server 2008). It is the analog
of COMMAND.COM in MS-DOS and
Windows 9x systems, or of the
Unix shells used on Unix-like
systems.(source Wikipedia)
Useful Things to do on CMD!
First, open your Network
Connection and right click and
select Properties. Then Select TCP/
IP and click on Properties again.
Now Click on Advanced and WINS
tab. Select Default for NeBIOS.
Now back to the main Local Area
Connection window, select File
and Print Sharing for Mic*ft
Networks and hit enter………
This is just to make sure you
have NetBIOS enabled. We will
have some fun with NetBIOS on
CMD.
First thing you need to know is
some very helpful commands to
use on CMD(Command Prompt).
In case you don ’t know how to
get CMD open in your box, then
click on Start, then Run, then type
“cmd” (no quotes, off course…
you know the drill).
Back to commands:
nslookup
net view
net use
net user
ping
tracert
arp
route
nbtstat
netstat
ipconfig
1) ping : This command will allow
you to know if the host you
pinging is alive, which means if it
is up at the time of executing the
“ping” command.ping x.x.x.x (x is
the IP address)
or
ping www.whatever.com
(www.whatever.com is the
website you want to ping, but
you don’t know the IP)
OBS: Keep in mind that if the host
you pinging is blocking ICMP
packets, then the result will be
host down.
2) nslookup : This command has
many functionalities.One is for
resolving DNS into IP.Lets say you
know the website URL but you
don’t know its IP(and you want
to find out).
nslookup www.whatever.com
(www.whatever.com is the
website you want to find out the
IP)Now, another really nice
function of nslookup is to find
out IP of specific Mail Severs
nslookup (enter)
set type=mx (enter)
yahoo.com
This command will give you the
mail server IP of yahoo.com. You
can use whatever server you
want and if it is listed on DNS,
then you get the IP. Simple, isn’t
it?
OK, now why would you want to
have an IP of a mail server?
To send spoofed mail to your
friends or even for SE.In case you

3) tracert : This command will
give you the hops that a packet
will travel to reach its final
destination.
OBS: This command is good to
know the route a packet takes
before it goes to the target
box.tracert x.x.x.x (x is the IP
address)
or
tracert www.whatever.com
(www.whatever.com is the
website you don’t know the IP)
4) arp : This command will show
you the arp table. This is good to
know if someone is doing arp
poisoning in your LAN.arp -a
5) route : This command will
show you the routing table,
gateway, interface and
metric.Code:route print
6) ipconfig : This command will
show tons of very helpful things.
Your IP, gateway, dns in use.
Code:
ipconfig
or
Code
:ipconfig /all
this command will give all that
info but for all networks you
might have it.
Also, in case you have a dynamic
IP and want to change it, then
type…Code:ipconfig /release (this
will release your IP)ipconfig /
renew (this will renew your iP)
OBS: Keep in mind that those
commands will change your IP,
but the new IP will still be tighed
up to you. So don’t do anything
stupid.
7) netstat : This command will
show you connection to your
box.
Code:
netstat
or
Code:
netstat -a (this will show you all
the listening ports and
connection with DNS names)
netstat -n (this will show you all
the open connection with IP
addresses)
netstat -an (this will combined
both of the above)
net view x.x.x.x or
computername (will list the
available sharing folders on the
target box)
Now some hints:
Code:
net use \ipaddressipc$ “” /
user:administrator
(this command will allow you to
connect to the target box as
administrator)
Now if you want to connect to
the target box and browse the
entire C drive, then use this
command:
Code:net use K: \computernameC
$
(this will create a virtual drive on
your “my computer” folder)
OBS: Keep in mind that this will
only works if the target box
doesn’t have an administrator
password set.
And least but not last, the “help”
command.
Quote:whatevercommand /help
or
Quote:whatevercommand /?
This command will help you to
understand what it does and all
the switchs available for each
command.Very useful if you
know the command, but forgot
the right switch.
