Debug a Windows XP batch file and output the current date and time to a log file

1:49 PM Posted by Laxman 4 Comments

The Windows 2003 Resource Kit comes with a batch file command, logtime, that lets you output the current time, date, and a custom text message to a log file. This is great for benchmarking batch files and commands in that you can output when such a command starts and completes.

To run logtime, first download and install the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit using the instructions mentioned in MalekTips (check the other Windows XP and DOS command tips).

Once the Resource Kit is installed, to view the online help for logtime:

C:\>logtime /?

To write a message to the text file "logtime.log" in the current directory, just issue this command:

C:\>logtime "MESSAGE"

For example, the following command will write the current day, time, and message "Command just completed" to the file logtime.log:

C:\>logtime "Command just completed"

Note that this will display the results of the command to the standard output as well. To hide this:

C:\>@logtime "Command just completed" > nul

XP: kill a Windows process from the command line with taskkill

1:45 PM Posted by Laxman 3 Comments

The ability to perform tasks from a system’s command line allows those tasks to be used in batch files. This recipe describes several uses of taskkill to terminate Windows processes.

If you know the name of a process to kill, for example notepad.exe, use the following command from a command prompt to end it:

taskkill /IM notepad.exe

This will cause the program to terminate gracefully, asking for confirmation if there are unsaved changes. To forcefully kill the same process, add the /F option to the command line. Be careful with the /F option as it will terminate all matching processes without confirmation.To kill a single instance of a process, specify its process id (PID). For example, if the desired process has a PID of 827, use the following command to kill it:

taskkill /PID 827

Using filters, a variety of different patterns can be used to specify the processes to kill. For example, the following filter syntax will forcefully kill all processes owned by the user Quinn:

taskkill /F /FI “USERNAME eq Quinn”

The following table shows the available filters and their use.

Filter Name Valid Operators Valid Value(s)
———– ————— ————–
STATUS eq ne RUNNING | NOT RESPONDING
IMAGENAME eq ne Image name
PID eq ne gt lt ge le PID value
SESSION eq ne gt lt ge le Session number.
CPUTIME eq ne gt lt ge le CPU time in the format
of hh:mm:ss.
MEMUSAGE eq ne gt lt ge le Memory usage in KB
USERNAME eq ne User name in [domain\]user
format
MODULES eq ne DLL name
SERVICES eq ne Service name
WINDOWTITLE eq ne Window titleeq: equals ne: not equal
gt: greater than lt: less than
gt: greater than or equal le: less than or equal

WindowsXP: Using the Command prompt to see and kill processes

1:43 PM Posted by Laxman 1 Comments

If you are a WindowsXP user then you must be already familiar with the life-saving graphical tool called “Task Manager” on Windows. Whenever the PC starts hanging and the processes start eating up a lot of memory (Sadly most of the time its Firefox for me), we press the alt+ctr+del key to bring up the the “Task Manager” and try to kill the memory eating processes and the ones which are “not responding”. Well, you should also know that this can be done efficiently from the command prompt as well.

As my project work requires writing and running codes, I generally have at least one Windows command prompt open. If this is the case with you then it is much faster to manage your windows processes from command prompt than to open up the Task Manager, just like we do on Linux using “ps” and “kill” command. Get to know the following commands and you can easily use the command prompt to see and kill processes.

1. Tasklist : This command is similar to “ps” command on Linux and is used to see the details of the programs and processes that are running in Windows. Tasklist can be applied to see how much memory and CPU time running processes are using, what DLL files they rely on, and other information. Thus it can be a very useful troubleshooting tool.

Processes info: When you enter tasklist on the command prompt, you can see the following informations by default. Image Name, PID, Session Name, Session#, Mem Usage
Processes detailed info: Additional info like, Status, User Name, CPU Time, Window Title can be displayed using tasklist /v
Services and Processes info: Use tasklist /svc to get a table relating Image Name, PID, and Services, very useful to know the relationship between a process and the services that are running on a system.
dlls and Processes info: Tasks and Use tasklist /m to find which DLLs are used by each process.
Filtering processes: Processes can be filtered using ImageName, PID, MemUsage, Status, Username and WindowTitle. For Example,
- Use the following command to to find processes that are not responding.
  - tasklist /fi "status eq not responding"
- Use the folliwing to list the processes eating up more than 10MB.
  - tasklist /fi "memusage gt 10000"
More Info: To get more info on advanced syntax of the command use tasklist /? or refer to Microsoft’s documentation.

(NOTE: Although Tasklist is a part of Windows XP Professional, it does not come with the Home edition. Those with the Home version of XP can download this file and can put it in the system path.)

2. Tskill : This command is used to end a process, using its name of its PID.

Kill with name: Use tskill processname to kill a process with name processname. For example:
- tskill winword (closes all the Microsoft documents that you have open)
Kill with PID : Similarly use tskill processid to kill a process with PID processid. Tasklist can be used to find the PID of a process.
More Info: To get more info on advanced syntax of the command use tskill /? or refer to Microsoft’s documentation.

(NOTE: Tskill is a part of both Windows XP Professional and the Home edition.)

3. Taskkill : Similar to Tskill, this command is also used to end a process but it provides us more options in doing so. Apart from specifying the PID or the image name of the process to kill, we can also use ceratin filters to kill the matching processes as explained below.

Kill with name: Use taskill /IM imagename to kill a process with the given Image name. For example:
- taskkill /im notepad.exe /f (forces notepad to be killed.)
Kill with PID : Use taskill /PID processid to kill a process with the given processid.
Filtering Taskkill: Processes to be killed can be filtered using ImageName, PID, MemUsage, CPUTime, Session, Status, Username, WindowTitle, Services or Modules (dll). For Example,
- Use the following command to forcefully shut down all the processes that are not responding.
  - taskkill /f /fi "status eq not responding"
- Use the folliwing to close down all programs using more than 10 MB..
  - taskkill /f /fi "memusage gt 10000"
More Info: To get more info on advanced syntax of the command use taskkill /? or refer to Microsoft’s documentation.

(NOTE: Taskkill is only a part of Windows XP Professional.)

How To Hack Isp To Use Internet For Free (tools and video tutorial)

11:57 AM Posted by Laxman 1 Comments

Superscan

Superscan is a free connect-based port scanning software designed to detect open TCP and UDP ports on a target computer, determine which services are running on those ports, and run queries such as whois, ping, ICMP traceroute, and Hostname lookups.

Superscan 4, which is a completely-rewritten update to the other Superscan, features windows enumeration, which can list a variety of important information dealing with Microsoft Windows such as:

* NetBIOS information
* user and Group Accounts
* Network shares
* Trusted Domains
* Services - which are either running or stopped

Superscan is a tool used by both system administrators, crackers and script kiddies to evaluate a computer's security. System administrators can use it to test for possible unauthorized open ports on their computer networks, whereas crackers use it to scan for a potentially insecure port in order to gain illegal access to a system.

Superscan 4 is produced by the Foundstone, a division of McAfee.

Here are some of the new features in this version.

* Superior scanning speed
* Support for unlimited IP ranges
* Improved host detection using multiple ICMP methods
* TCP SYN scanning
* UDP scanning (two methods)
* IP address import supporting ranges and CIDR formats
* Simple HTML report generation
* Source port scanning
* Fast hostname resolving
* Extensive banner grabbing
* Massive built-in port list description database
* IP and port scan order randomization
* A selection of useful tools (ping, traceroute, Whois etc)
* Extensive Windows host enumeration capability

a-Change Mac Address 5.0

Change Mac Address in seconds! Scan Mac Address within any range of IP address. Exports the scanning results from a Mac Address Lookup list. Spoofing the Mac Address of your network card to any new Mac Address.
Wake on Lan. Win Ipconfig.Port Scan.
Scan any range of IP for the proper Mac Address.
Support changing Mac Address of any network cards under Windows NT/2000/XP/95/98/2003.
Support exporting scanning mac address results to txt file.

A-MAC Address Change is a lightweight, easy-use MAC Address scanning and changing software. Don't let its small size fool you! It's filled with features such as:

* It's shockingly easy to use — just a simple input and click, that's it!
* It can scan any range of IP for the proper MAC Address.
* It supports exporting results of your scan to a text file.
* It runs on all Windows™ operating systems.
* It supports any network cards under Windows Me/95/98/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista.
* It supports changing back to its original physical address.
* It recommends the proper Ethernet network card.
* It displays the information of your computer.
* It automatically checks the legality of IP range.
* It supports changing MAC searching speed.

But what does all this mean to you? Simple...

* You don't blow your time calling the ISP vendor and ask them to update the registered MAC Address to match the new hardware. Some Cable Modem ISP's assign IP addresses base on the PC's MAC addresses. For whatever reason, if you need to swap 2 PC's regularly to connect to the cable modem, it would be a lot easier to spoof MAC Addresses rather than to change Network Interface Card (NIC).
* You can scan the MAC Address of destination computer.
* You can perform security checking on MAC Address based authentication and authorization systems
* You can build Stand-by (offline) systems with the EXACT same Computer Name, IP address, & MAC Address as the Primary Systems. If Stand-by systems should be put online, NO arp table refresh is necessary, which eliminates extra downtime.
* Test network management tools.
* Some software can ONLY be installed and run on the systems with pre-defined MAC address in the license file. Now you can install one of these applications to another system with a different NIC.
* Troubleshoot Network problems: ARP Tables, Routing, Switching, etc.

GetDataBack for NTFS & FAT

6:21 AM Posted by Laxman 1 Comments

Runtime GetDataBack for FAT/NTFS v3.66

Data Recovery Software - GetDataBack is a highly advanced data recovery software, which will help you to get your data back when your drive's partition table, boot record, Master File Table or root directory is corrupt or lost, when a virus has hit the drive, files were deleted, the drive was formatted or struck by a power failure. GetDataBack comes in two flavours, NTFS and FAT depending on what file system you have.

GetDataBack will recover your data if the hard drive's partition table, boot record, FAT/MFT or root directory are lost or damaged, data was lost due to a virus attack, the drive was formatted, fdisk has been run, a power failure has caused a system crash, files were lost due to a software failure, files were accidentally deleted...

GetDataBack can even recover your data when the drive is no longer recognized by Windows. It can likewise be used even if all directory information - not just the root directory- is missing. GetDataBack can even recover your data when the drive is no longer recognized by Windows. It can likewise be used even if all directory information - not just the root directory- is missing.

The tool works at partition level and will restore files and folders exactly how they used to be. It recovers data from floppy and ZIP disks, drive images and even remote drives connected by a serial cable or TCP/IP. As the name says, it restores files from FAT/ NTFS disks - file system used by Windows NT/2000/XP, yet works on all Windows systems. Make sure you never install the program on the to-be-recovered drive and you will never lose important data.

Advanced algorithms will make sure that all directories and sub directories are put together as they were, and that long file names are reconstructed correctly. GetDataBack is read-only, meaning the program will never attempt to write to the drive you are about to recover. Please make sure to read the safety instructions...

The software enables the regular user to conduct his own data recovery by guiding him through three easy to understand steps, thus gives the advanced user the possibility to interfere with the recovery and improve the results, by examining the scan log, the file system details, file and directory information, by selecting the sector range to be scanned, by choosing excessive search for file systems or search for lost files, by calling Runtime's DiskExplorer.

Recover files over your local network or over a serial cable - This feature enables you to run GetDataBack on one computer ("remote") while accessing the drives of another computer ("host"). Recovering data over a network is useful, especially when you are not able to remove the drive you want to recover from and attach it to another computer.

GetDataBack recovers from:
• Hard drives (IDE, SCSI, SATA)
• USB drives
• Firewire drives
• Partitions
• Dynamic Disks
• Floppy drives
• Drive images
• Zip/Jaz drive
• Compact Flash Cards
• Smart Media Cards
• Secure Digital Cards
• USB Flash Drive
• iPod Disks

Assign Folder as a Drive

6:20 AM Posted by Laxman No Comments

Had you heard about assigning a folder as a drive? Several user may need a daily used folder as a drive that appear in "my computer". Here it's the trick;

Open up "command prompt" by typing "cmd" at run box
At "command prompt", type; "subst [drive letter] [folder path address]". eg: "subst m: d:\userfolder"
Hit enter and you can see [as an example a new drive: m:\ drive appear in "my computer"
Simple and easy huh? This assigned drive will be deactivate when you reboot your comp.
So, you can make an auto startup program for this assigned drive.
Here come the trick; Simply open up notepad and type this codes : "subst [drive letter] [folder path address]". eg: "subst m: d:\userfolder" and save it as "urfilename".bat.
This is a batch file that runs the command when you double-click it. "urfilename" refer to any name that you want to put. But make sure you keep the file with *.bat extension in order to make it able to be executed.
Then, simply copy this file to the startup folder under "start>all programs>startup"
This means you have just set up that batch file to runs every time the comp rebooted

Log In Several User In Yahoo! messenger 8

6:16 AM Posted by Laxman No Comments

Wanna log in several user in one Yahoo! messenger? Here come the simple trick:

Step 1

Fire up notepad and type :

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\Test]

"Plural"=dword:00000001

Step 2

Save the document as Ym8MultiLogin.reg

Step 3

Merge the file that you had just created into the registry and bling!! You can now login with several user in one Yahoo! messenger. Just make sure that you uncheck the "automatic login" at Yahoo! messenger startup.

p/s: you can create uninstallation file by changing the ["Plural"=dword:] value from "00000001" to "00000000" and save it as Ym8MultiLogin_uninstall.reg .If you want to download both of the registration files by simply clicking [here]

Customizing The System Tray Clock

6:14 AM Posted by Laxman No Comments

Now, here is a nice trick for you. Customizing your system tray clock like the picture above. It has been applied to my comp :). Pretty nice. But maybe you can corrupt some trial licenses of software that you may have installed. Here it is :

Step 1
Open up your registry editor [start > run > type "regedit"]

Step 2
Navigate to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

Step 3
There is two strings named "s1159" and "s2359". By default, the "s1159" is for AM and "s2359" is for PM. Just right click to the value and edit the AM and PM text. Make sure the text is not too long because if it is too long, it will be a problem to view it.

Step 4
If both of the string is not in there, just create the two strings "s1159" and "s2359"

Now, you have a special clock of your own. Change applied may start to active after user logoff or restart the comp. Else, just refresh your desktop to activate it.. Happy modding :) =X and good luck

Fixing Double-Click Problems In Your Drive

6:05 AM Posted by Laxman No Comments

Cannot double-click your drive? My buddy : right here have a brief explanation about how to fix it using flash disinfector and CHKDSK. But here is my solution to fix it within the power of Command Prompt [CMD]

Several things you must know first :

1. When you double-click your drive, it can't be accessed and an alert pop-out : "cannot find file.js@file.exe@file.vbs@something similar".

2. What is the main problems?
Autorun.inf file cannot find the specific file to be executed [been deleted due to virus alert from antivirus software or accidentally deleted]

3. Autorun.inf usage :

Not all "autorun.inf" is written to execute the VIRUS.
"autorun.inf" may also automatically load a programs in the Interactive-CD media.
It can load a portable software for USB drive such as "PortableApps"
You can set your drive icon by write some codes in it [will be posted later]
So, "autorun.inf" is NOT A VIRUS. It's a kinda file that run under System Explorer.

Looking by the two main cause of these problems, there is 2 simple solution here:

1st :
If you accidentally deleted the files [the programs compiled with "autorun.inf" accidentally deleted]
Solution :
Just unhide the "hidden folder" [tool > folder options > views > "tick" the "show hidden files & folder"]. Then you can delete the "autorun.inf" files [navigate into the drive using the "address bar"]. Your drive can be accessed by using double-click after the comp rebooted.

2nd :
If the files compiled with "autorun.inf" have been deleted automatically due to antivirus response to a suspected files, which means, the compiled files with "autorun.inf" is a virus suspected file. So, the virus can't be executed when you double-click the drive. Antivirus won't delete the "autorun.inf" because it is NOT A VIRUS.
Solution :
Open up Command Prompt [start > run > type "CMD"]

The command prompt will now open. Type "attrib -s -h -r -a x:\autorun.inf"
Then type "del x:\autorun.inf"

Explanation :
"attrib" : attribute
"s" : system file attribute
"h" : hidden file attribute
"r" : read-only file attribute
"a" : archive file attribute
"x" : this should be change with your drive letter such as C or D or any drive you want to fix
"del" : delete file
"-" : this -ve sign stand for remove, so that it will remove the attribute within the files

So. After you runs the command above, you have successfully remove the "autorun.inf" file in your drive. Just make sure you change the "x" value with your drive letter. Reboot the computer and it's done. Below is a sample advance batch file to remove "autorun.inf" that i've made specially for all my blog reader using these commands above.

Change/Add Restrictions And Features [a further info about registry tweak & hack]

6:00 AM Posted by Laxman No Comments

If you want to make restrictions to what users can do, you can edit the Registry. You can add and delete Windows features in this key shown below.

Certain things you must know about registry editor:

It's very sensitive. Make sure you change anything inside it if you didn't know about it
Boolean is where elements or "bits" each contain only two possible values, called various names [eg : yes@no, true@false , 1@2]
The Boolean number "0" is for ON
The Boolean number "1" is for OFF
[eg : To make a printer undeleteable set "NoDeletePrinter" boolean to 1. That The value "NoDeletePrinter" will be activated]

Open RegEdit [start > run > "regedit"] and navigate to :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\

Under "Explorer" subkey, this "DWORD" value can be created :

NoDeletePrinter : Disables Deletion of Printers
NoAddPrinter : Disables Addition of Printers
NoRun : Disables Run Command
NoSetFolders : Removes Folders from Settings on Start Menu
NoSetTaskbar : Removes Taskbar from Settings on Start Menu
NoFind : Removes the Find Command
NoDrives : Hides Drives in My Computers
NoNetHood : Hides the Network Neighborhood
NoDesktop : Hides all icons on the Desktop
NoLogoff : Hides the Log Off in the Start Menu
NoRecentDocsMenu : Hides the Documents shortcut at the Start button
DisableRegistryTools : Disable Registry Editing Tools
NoChangeStartMenu : Disables changes to the Start Menu
NoFileMenu : Hides the Files Menu in Explorer
NoActiveDesktop : No Active Desktop
NoFolderOptions : Hides the Folder Options in the Explorer
ClearRecentDocsOnExit : Empty the recent Docs folder on reboot
NoActiveDesktopChanges : No changes allowed
NoInternetIcon : No Internet Explorer Icon on the Desktop
NoFavoritesMenu : Hides the Favorites menu
NoClose : Disables Shutdown
NoRecentDocsHistory: Clears history of Documents
NoSaveSettings : Don't save settings on exit
NoControlPanel :Hide the control panel visibility
NoCDBurning : Disable Cd burning

Under " System" subkey, this "DWORD" value can be created :

NoDispCPL : Disable Display Control Panel
NoPwdPage : Hide Password Change Page
NoDispScrSavPage : Hide Screen Saver Page
NoDispBackgroundPage : Hide Background Page
NoSecCPL : Disable Password Control Panel
NoDispAppearancePage : Hide Appearance Page
NoDispSettingsPage : Hide Settings Page
NoDevMgrPage : Hide Device Manager Page
NoConfigPage : Hide Hardware Profiles Page
NoVirtMemPage : Hide Virtual Memory Button
NoAdminPage : Hide Remote Administration Page
NoProfilePage : Hide User Profiles Page
NoFileSysPage : Hide File System Button

Alternatively, if you want to create a string or edit it without opening Registry Editor, you can just fire up these string in the "run box" :

REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\

Policies\Explorer /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

This can be more easier for you to add or change the value in the Registry Editor. In a long explanation :

REG ADD : adding a registry value
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer : It will navigate through this value
/v DisableRegistryTools : It will create a value named "DisableRegistryTool". This can be change to your desired value that you want to create.
/t REG_DWORD : And the value created is a "DWORD" value type
0 : The boolean is set to "0" [off]. "1" = [on]
/f : The data will be force overwritten without any

Create Your Own Password Protected Folder

5:56 AM Posted by Laxman 11 Comments

Ever had a situation where you want to keep your file secretly. Avoid others from accessing your private data by your own application! Write the codes by yourself. In today how2.0 tutorial, i'll teach you a simple batch [*.bat] file programming, using only your notepad. This program runs under command prompt "CMD". Maybe it's too advance to learn this before you know about the basic of batch [*.bat] file itself. But nevermind, i'll explain the codes for your understanding. Yeah, lets rock the codes!! Here it is :

Step 1
Firstly, i'll explain about the method used in this batch [*.bat] program.

1st method :
Here, we'll use an unique method to create a folder that seen as "control panel". Magic? Yeah. This unique string : Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} ,represent as "control panel" folder. So, if you rename any folder using this string, it will become a "control panel" but actually that is your folder. The is many more unique string such as:

Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}
Recycle Bin.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
My Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
My Documents.{ECF03A32-103D-11d2-854D-006008059367}
Fonts.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}

You can change the middle string such as, "MyOwnFolder.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}". The folder will appear as "control panel" icon, named "MyOwnFolder", but you will also redirected to control panel folder. Thats means, your folder cannot be accessed as usual. The data inside the folder will remain safety.

2nd method :
We'll change the folder attributes to "system files attribute" and "hidden files attribute" by using "attrib" method that i've explain in my last post. [attrib x:/filename +s +h]

Step 2
Copy & Paste these codes into your notepad [start > run > "notepad"]. These codes combine the two method i've mention above to secure your folder.

cls

What a long explanation is'nt it.. huh.. I also burn my finger typing these post.. Hehe.. but it's my pleasure to share my knowledge with you all. :)
Ok, By simple explanation, you must change the "password" in line 22 to your own password. You can also change the title name in the 2nd line to your own. Hope you can find this tutorial useful, and, good luck coders :)

Step 3
Now you can save your file as anyfileneme.bat . You can put any name that you want as long as you keep the extension as *.bat. Now you can put your secret data inside the "locker" folder.

note that AVG will detect these commands as a HackTool. So, Make sure u make an exception list for this file to AVG. This why I hate AVG so much ~ daa

Attrib command ( Change attributes of a file or folder)

5:10 PM Posted by ChinniLax No Comments

Displays, sets, or removes attributes assigned to files or directories. If used without parameters, attrib displays attributes of all files in the current directory.

Syntax

attrib [{+|-}r] [{+|-}a] [{+|-}s] [{+|-}h] [{+|-}i] [:][][] [/s [/d] [/l]]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
{+\|-}r	Sets (+) or clears (-) the Read-only file attribute.
{+\|-}a	Sets (+) or clears (-) the Archive file attribute.
{+\|-}s	Sets (+) or clears (-) the System file attribute.
{+\|-}h	Sets (+) or clears (-) the Hidden file attribute.
{+\|-}i	Sets (+) or clears (-) the Not Content Indexed file attribute.
[:][][]	Specifies the location and name of the directory, file, or group of files for which you want to display or change attributes. You can use the ? and * wildcard characters in the FileName parameter to display or change the attributes for a group of files.
/s	Applies attrib and any command-line options to matching files in the current directory and all of its subdirectories.
/d	Applies attrib and any command-line options to directories.
/l	Applies attrib and any command-line options to the Symbolic Link, rather than the target of the Symbolic Link.
/?	Displays help at the command prompt.

Remarks

You can use wildcard characters (? and *) with the FileName parameter to display or change the attributes for a group of files.
If a file has the System (s) or Hidden (h) attribute set, you must clear the attribute before you can change any other attributes for that file.
The Archive attribute (a) marks files that have changed since the last time they were backed up. Note that the xcopycommand uses archive attributes.

Examples

To display the attributes of a file named News86 that is located in the current directory, type:

attrib news86

To assign the Read-only attribute to the file named Report.txt, type:

attrib +r report.txt

To remove the Read-only attribute from files in the Public directory and its subdirectories on a disk in drive B, type:

attrib -r b:\public\*.* /s

To set the Archive attribute for all files on drive A, and then clear the Archive attribute for files with the .bak extension, type:

attrib +a a:*.* & attrib -a a:*.bak
