Command prompt Windows - Must know Commands The command prompt is full of many useful and easy to follow, kinds of commands. We will work on these commands and explore how they work. Also, we will see that we need not remember these commands. A list of these commands is always there in the command prompt. This command prompt tutorial is divided into the following four parts. Part 1 – Cmd – Introduction, and Settings Part 2 – Cmd – Must know Commands Part 3 – Cmd – A useful List of Shortcuts Part 4 – Cmd – Batch file programming In part-I, we have covered Command prompt Windows 10 – Introduction and Settings. Let’s move on to part-2. If you have not gone through Part-1, I will suggest you have a look at it and then come back to join us on this page. Note:- The Command Prompt is not case-sensitive. Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com It means whether you capitalize your commands or type in running letters, it will function in a similar way. Command Prompt - Commands System-related commands Let's start with the command 'start' Open ‘cmd‘ > type — ‘start‘ It will open a new window. You can run a program or a command in this new cmd window separately. Current Date and time Open ‘cmd‘ > type — ‘time‘ Command Prompt will display the current system time in HH:MM: SS format. Open ‘cmd‘ > type — ‘time /t‘ Displays time in HH: MM format. Open ‘cmd‘ > type — ‘date‘. You can try date /t also. Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Open the cmd as an administrator to change the system time, entering new values. Hit ‘enter’ or press ‘Ctrl+C’ to come out of the time command console. Systeminfo To see all the information about your PC: type — ‘systeminfo‘ in the cmd without spaces. This command shows all the necessary information about a system, like — no. of NIC card installed, OS installation date, BIOS version, OS version. Check windows version Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Type — ‘ver‘ to display the current OS version in the command console. type — ‘winver‘ to display the current OS version in a separate window. Shutdown The PC You can shut down a PC in many different ways from the command prompt. 1. type — ‘shutdown /i‘ A shutdown window will open. Shut down/restart your PC from here. How to shut down a network PC from the command prompt type — ‘shutdown /i‘ and hit enter. From the window that appears, click on ‘Browse’. Type the PC-name and click on the ‘find’ button. Select the PC name in the searched-list-window and click ‘OK’. Type the comment in the comment box. For example:- “Hi, this the Administrator. Please, Save your work. The PC will shut down in 30 seconds. The written comment will appear on the target PC as a shut-down notification. Note: - For shutting down a pc remotely you are supposed to know the name of the PC or IP address in a network. The admin password is also required. Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Another shut down commands are: ‘shutdown /s‘ —> This command will directly shut down the PC. ‘shutdown /r‘ —> Use this command to restart the PC. ‘shutdown /a‘ —> To abort a shutdown. If a command for shut down or restart is already given, but you want to abort this shutdown then use this command. ‘shutdown /h‘ —> To hibernate the PC. Prank – How to shutdown a pc with a message? Just for fun! You can show this message on your friend’s PC. For this message or any other genuine technical shutdown messages, follow these steps. In the Command Prompt window: Type — shutdown /s /t 300 /c “Hi User, This is your Machine talking to you. I am going to shut down as I am Tired. Byeee!! Explanation: ‘shutdown /s‘ –> command for shutting down. ‘/t 300‘ —> time to a shut down in seconds. ‘/c‘ —> this command takes comment for a shutdown. You can type Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com comments such as ‘for maintenance’ or ‘for a system upgrade’ etc. type — ‘shutdown /?‘ for more options in the command shutdown. TaskList and Taskkill The command ‘Tasklist’ will show all the running tasks on a local or remote machine. Try ‘tasklist /apps’ to see all the store apps and their associated processes. ‘Taskkill’ — This command is used to close a running task by process ID (PID) and image ID. type — ‘taskkill /pid 7344‘ this command will terminate the task with the process id 7344. To see the PID use the command tasklist. How to Open control panel from CMD type — ‘control’ This will open the control panel window. you can do any control panel related task from here. Path Command Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Https://www.AiyeSamjhein.com Press ‘Windows logo‘ key > type env > Environment variable window will open. You can see all the executable files path from the cmd window also. To view all ‘paths’ from the cmd use the command ‘path’. Vol To check the disk volume label and a serial number of any drive(c:, d:, or e): type — ‘vol d:‘ Network Related Commands IPConfig To view windows Internet Protocol Configurations: type — ‘ipconfig‘ to display the IP configurations list, along with the IP address and mac address. To get the mac address only: type — ‘getmac‘ without space. open a browser > go to google.com > and type ‘ipconfig’ in cmd > observer the whole list. type — ‘ipconfig/flushdns‘ to flush the local DNS cache.

  • Introduction to Computer Networking
    www.PDHcenter.com PDH Course E175 www.PDHonline.org Introduction to Computer Networking Dale Callahan, Ph.D., P.E. MODULE 7: Fun Experiments 7.1 Introduction This chapter will introduce you to some networking experiments that will help you improve your understanding and concepts of networks. (The experiments assume you are using Windows, but Apple, Unix, and Linux systems will have similar commands.) These experiments can be performed on any computer that has Internet connectivity. The commands can be used from the command line using the command prompt window. The commands that can be used are ping, tracert, netstat, nslookup, ipconfig, route, ARP etc. 7.2 PING PING is a network tool that is used on TCP/IP based networks. It stands for Packet INternet Groper. The idea is to verify if a network host is reachable from the site where the PING command issued. The ping command uses the ICMP to verify if the network connections are intact. When a PING command is issued, a packet of 64 bytes is sent to the destination computer. The packet is composed of 8 bytes of ICMP header and 56 bytes of data. The computer then waits for a reply from the destination computer. The source computer receives a reply if the connection between the two computers is good. Apart from testing the connection, it also gives the round trip time for a packet to return to the source computer and the amount of packet loss [19]. In order to run the PING command, go to Start ! Run and in the box type “cmd”.

  • An Introduction to DNS and DNS Tools
    An Introduction to DNS and DNS Tools http://0-delivery.acm.org.innopac.lib.ryerson.ca/10.1145/380000/374803... An Introduction to DNS and DNS Tools Neil Anuskiewicz Abstract The explosive growth of the Internet was made possible, in part, by DNS. The domain name system (DNS) hums along behind the scenes and, as with running water, we largely take it for granted. That this system just works is a testament to the hackers who designed and developed DNS and the open-source package called Bind, thereby introducing a scalable Internet to the world. Before DNS and Bind, /etc/hosts was the only way to translate IP addresses to human-friendly hostnames and vice versa. This article will introduce the concepts of DNS and three commands with which you can examine DNS information: host, dig and nslookup. The DNS is a distributed, hierarchical database where authority flows from the top (or root) of the hierarchy downward. When Linux Journal registered linuxjournal.com, they got permission from an entity that had authority at the root or top level. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and a domain name registrar, transferred authority for linuxjournal.com to Linux Journal, which now has the authority to create subdomains such as embedded.linuxjournal.com, without the involvement of ICANN and a domain name registrar. When trying to understand the structure of the DNS, think of an inverted tree--the very structure of the UNIX filesystem. Each branch of the tree is within a zone of authority; more than one branch of this tree can be within a single zone.

    You can’t do that with nslookup: A DNS(SEC) troubleshooting tutorial Michael Sinatra Energy Sciences Network NANOG 53 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory U.S. Department of Energy | Office of Science What this tutorial is about • Learning how to use advanced tools to troubleshoot DNS and DNSSEC issues. • dig • dnscap/nmsg • dnsviz • others • Understanding DNS and DNSSEC pitfalls and where you can get into trouble. • Understanding how DNSSEC complicates the DNS picture. • Learning how basic troubleshooting techniques can help you solve complex problems. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory U.S. Department of Energy | Office of Science What this tutorial is not about • An introduction to DNS. • An introduction to DNSSEC. (See Matt Larson’s excellent DNSSEC tutorial from NANOG 51 or earlier today.) • A commentary on the “complexity” of DNSSEC and why we should throw up our arms and run away (we definitely shouldn’t). • A discussion of DNS and/or DNSSEC implementations, and/or of automation tools for DNSSEC. • I assume a working knowledge of DNS, and also of UNIX, its command line, and how to install and/or compile packages in your favorite modern UNIX variant. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory U.S. Department of Energy | Office of Science Why? • You’re here, so you probably have an answer in your head. • In most organizations DNS is a part-time job. • Sometimes it barely works. • Sometimes it doesn’t really work but there’s nobody to fix it. • Even if your organization has a competent DNS person, your users have to get to other people’s resources. • Ever hear the complaint “I can resolve www.foo.com from {home, $ISP, $other_company} but not here.

  • Part I - Gathering WHOIS Information
    Part I - Gathering WHOIS Information Exercise 1: command-line WHOIS queries: in the following exercise you will use a Linux system to perform WHOIS lookups from a command-line. This requires outbound TCP port 43 access. As mentioned in the lecture discussion, ICANN is the authoritative registry for all top-level domains (TLDs) and is a great starting point for all manual WHOIS queries. NOTE: in practice, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) handles the day-to-day operations, which is located online at www.iana.org. 1. Start your BackTrack VM 2. Make sure you are connected to the Internet 3. Open a Linux shell 4. At the prompt, type the following (only type what's in bold): user1@bt:~$ whois net -h whois.iana.org | less Syntax breakdown: whois: command name net: search the .net TLD -h whois.iana.org: connect to server whose hostname is whois.iana.org (which is the authoritative registry for all TLDs) | less: send the output to the less paging program so you can view the results one page at a time. Use your up/down arrows to scroll text on the screen. 5. Who is the authoritative registry for .net? What is their WHOIS server domain name? 6. At the Linux prompt, type the following (only type what's in bold): user1@bt:~$ whois intermedia.net -h whois.verisign-grs.com | less Syntax breakdown: whois: command name intermedia.net: target domain you’re interested in finding out registrar information on -h whois.verisign-grs.com: connect to server whose hostname is VeriSign Global Registry Services (which is VeriSign's WHOIS server) | less: send the output to the less paging program so you can view the results one page at a time 7.

  • IP/Networking Commands
    IP/Networking Commands There are a lot of IP commands with short descriptions listed here but you should only need the ones mentioned here at the top of the page to diagnose and configure your network. C:>ping C:>ipconfig C:>ipconfig /all C:>ipconfig /release C:>ipconfig /renew C:\>nbtstat –a Remember when typing from the command prompt you can only type one command per line, and press Enter after each one to execute it. C:\>arp –a: is short for address resolution protocol, It will show the IP address of your computer along with the IP address and MAC address of your router. C:\>hostname: This is the simplest of all TCP/IP commands. It simply displays the name of your computer. C:\>ipconfig: The ipconfig command displays information about the host (the computer your sitting at)computer TCP/IP configuration. C:\>ipconfig /all: This command displays detailed configuration information about your TCP/IP connection including Router, Gateway, DNS, DHCP, and type of Ethernet adapter in your system. C:\>Ipconfig /renew: Using this command will renew all your IP addresses that you are currently (leasing) borrowing from the DHCP server. This command is a quick problem solver if you are having connection issues, but does not work if you have been configured with a static IP address. C:\>Ipconifg /release: This command allows you to drop the IP lease from the DHCP server. C:\>ipconfig /flushdns: This command is only needed if you’re having trouble with your networks DNS configuration. The best time to use this command is after network configuration frustration sets in, and you really need the computer to reply with flushed.
