  • External Commands
    5/22/2018 External commands External commands Previous | Content | Next External commands are known as Disk residence commands. Because they can be store with DOS directory or any disk which is used for getting these commands. Theses commands help to perform some specific task. These are stored in a secondary storage device. Some important external commands are given below- MORE MOVE FIND DOSKEY MEM FC DISKCOPY FORMAT SYS CHKDSK ATTRIB XCOPY SORT LABEL 1. MORE:-Using TYPE command we can see the content of any file. But if length of file is greater than 25 lines then remaining lines will scroll up. To overcome through this problem we uses MORE command. Using this command we can pause the display after each 25 lines. Syntax:- C:\> TYPE <File name> | MORE C:\> TYPE ROSE.TXT | MORE or C: \> DIR | MORE 2. MEM:-This command displays free and used amount of memory in the computer. Syntax:- C:\> MEM the computer will display the amount of memory. 3. SYS:- This command is used for copy system files to any disk. The disk having system files are known as Bootable Disk, which are used for booting the computer. Syntax:- C:\> SYS [Drive name] C:\> SYS A: System files transferred This command will transfer the three main system files COMMAND.COM, IO.SYS, MSDOS.SYS to the floppy disk. 4. XCOPY:- When we need to copy a directory instant of a file from one location to another the we uses xcopy command. This command is much faster than copy command. Syntax:- C:\> XCOPY < Source dirname > <Target dirname> C:\> XCOPY TC TURBOC 5.

  • Extracting Windows Command Line Details from Physical Memory
    Extracting Windows Command Line Details from Physical Memory. Richard Stevens and Eoghan Casey Introduction • Recent research has demonstrated how effective memory forensics can be in identifying information of forensic value. • One area of interest is the commands that have been typed by a user or attacker into the command prompt. • The presence of a command string in memory might indicate a command that was typed by the user. Or it could be a fragment of a help file. • Context is important - even if commands can be identified using simple string searches the order can change the meaning • Is it possible to recover the history of a command prompt from a Windows XP memory capture by examining the data structures used to store the command history? Windows Command Line History • DOSKEY – Originally a separate application for MS-DOS that has been incorporated into Windows XP as a command. – Accessed by entering “doskey / history” or pressing “F7” – stores the last 50 commands entered by the user by default – The buffer’s size is stored in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\HistoryBufferSize – Most familiar to DOS and Windows users using the “up” and “down” arrows to scroll through previous commands. – Memory resident and only normally accessible from within a running cmd.exe process. – Can be cleared using “doskey /reinstall” or pressing “ALT-F7” DOSKEY Initial Research • A literary review was conducted to identify any indications of how DOSKEY structures might be stored. No significant resources were found. • A Windows XP VM was created and memory captures were taken using 256mb, 512mb, and 1024mb of RAM. – Each capture contained one or more command prompt windows containing known commands including readily identifiable strings.

    &KDSWHU' 8VLQJ 0LFURVRIW06'26 &KDSWHU'8VLQJ0LFURVRIW06'26 '8VLQJ0LFURVRIW06'26 After having explained the installation of the ICP Controller and the host-drives in chapters B and C, we now explain how to install the operating system MS-DOS. By using some ex- amples, we shall demonstrate how to partition a host-drive, transfer MS-DOS to the host- drive, install Windows 3.x and use a CD-ROM drive (standing for any other Not Direct Access Device) under MS-DOS. In addition, we will give you further information on how to install Windows 95. '7UDQVSDUHQF\RI+RVW'ULYHV The structure of the Host Drives, which have been installed with GDTSETUP (in chapter C), is not known to DOS. i.e., the operating system does not recognize that a given Host Drive consists of a number of hard disks forming a disk array. To DOS this Host Drive simply ap- pears as one single SCSI hard disk with the capacity of the disk array. This complete trans- parency represents the easiest way to operate disk arrays under DOS; neither DOS nor the PCI computer need to be involved in the administration of these complex disk array con- figurations. '3DUWLWLRQLQJD+RVW'ULYHDQG7UDQVIHUULQJ06'26 You can partition the host-drives installed in chapter C with GDTSETUP as well as with the MS-DOS program FDISK. However, in our explanation we shall only use GDTSETUP. For fur- ther information on FDISK, please refer to your MS-DOS manual. During the following in- stallation instructions we assume that there is not yet a boot disk in the computer system.

The purpose of this site is to make the power and utility of the command line more familiar to a wider community of computer users. Also under-appreciated are the related resources of batch files and scripts and powered by FreeFind these will be discussed as well. Pages Windows is famous as a graphical user interface and many computer users tend to forget (or never knew) that there are also very useful command line functions in Windows. In fact, there is a great deal more to Windows than just point and click. The Home keyboard and the command line can be substantial adjuncts to the mouse and icons. There are two basic features involving a Assoc and Ftype command line.
