==Geting Information

To make scripts that work with Windows 7,Windows Vista,Windows XP,Windows
you must know what commands and applets can be used

TIP: Windows Batch wont work with other systems like Luniex,Mac OS,Cloud OS

To gain information on certain parts of your computer you can use these in command line or Powershell
To open command prompt,you can use the command
@echo off
command.com
Saving that in a .bat form from a text editor will save it as a CMD shortcut.

Echo %OS%

This will tell you what the system was built on


Help

This will list all the avaiable built in commands, Some times OEM include more then included with a Windows Os

Systeminfo

This can Give you information about the Computer and Model

Ipconfig

This will list the machinces Internet Protocols
and any virtal ips or vpns that are attached with it (see my vpn guide)


You can also make these comands save the results in text files, some examples:
Ipconfig >C:\Ipconfig.txt
Systeminfo >C:\Systeminfo.txt
Help >C:\Help.txt
Echo %OS% >C:\OS.txt

Take ownership


This will take over a file or directory that is not owned by you this is a good way to
protect stuff from other administartors that cant use the takeownership command themselfs
making you only able to edit and delete the data
can only be used by administators

takeown lol.txt /F
takeown C:\Windows /F

Start a certain program

start c:\programs\mozila\firefox.exe

list all runing tasks
tasklist

task kill

Taskkill Explorer.exe /F
WIn XP

Variables
Variables are used to shoren commands
Note: you have to type the "echo" command before each of these variables


Some basic variables are



%USERPROFILE% Will take you to C:\Users\YOUR USER
%USERNAME% Will print the current user loged in echo %username%
%TIME% will show time echo %time%
%DATE% will show date %date%
%OS% will show build
%TMP% will show location appdata temp
%TEMP% ^
%DOMAIN% WIll show logon domain
%RANDOM% Will echo a random number


to set your own

set a=C:\Creds
to use it you would type %a%


Displaying text
Echo is a very powerfull but mis understood command
It can be used for building batch files in batch files
and used to display vairbles

Echo Lol
That would display lol in the command line
Echo %USERNAME%
That would display my username
Echo:
That would leave a break
@Echo off
this would turn off the location the current directory the command line is in

To build files

Echo :1 >Virus.bat
Echo Start Cmd>>Virus.bat
Echo goto :1 >>Virus

This is an example of how you could make batch files make other batch files
 or text or html files

echo would not be included in them files unless you typed echo echo
> makes the file
>> adds to the file
