CMD Hacker Tricks

 

While it's important to note that hacking or engaging in any unauthorized activities is illegal and unethical, I can provide you with a few harmless Command Prompt (CMD) tricks that might make you appear as if you have some technical skills. Remember, these tricks are for educational purposes only and should not be used for any malicious intent.

1. Matrix Falling Code:

   Enter the command "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" in CMD to display the classic "Matrix" falling code animation.

2. Tree Command:

   Use the "tree" command to display a tree-like directory structure of your current directory. Type "tree" and press Enter to see a visual representation.

3. Colorful Text:

   CMD supports colored text. Use the "color" command followed by two hexadecimal digits to change the text and background color. For example, "color 0A" sets the background to black and the text to green.

4. Ping of Death:

   The ping command allows you to send ICMP Echo Request packets to a target. Although the "ping of death" was once a dangerous attack, it no longer works due to network security improvements. You can type "ping -t -l 65500 <target IP>" to simulate a large ping packet. Replace "<target IP>" with the IP address or domain name you want to ping.

5. Netstat Command:

   Use the "netstat" command to display active network connections, listening ports, and related information. Type "netstat -a" to see all connections and their respective IP addresses.

Remember, these tricks are purely cosmetic and don't involve any real hacking. Always use your skills responsibly and ethically, and never attempt any unauthorized activities.
