Disabling and Enabling Windows Firewall
through command Prompt
Windows Firewall is a utility in Microsoft Windows to protect its users from malicious attack
through network. If windows Firewall is disabled then u are more vulnerable to attacks. So
Today I will discuss how to disable/Enable Windows firewall through Command Prompt or
batch File. Whenever a hacker is creating a virus or Trojan he always tries to disable victim’s
Firewall to make him more vulnerable.
Disabling Windows Firewall through command Prompt:
Open Command Prompt and type : netsh firewall set opmode disable
For Enabling Windows Firewall through command prompt:
Open Command Prompt and type : netsh firewall set opmode enable
If You want to make a batch file for Disabling/Enabling Firewall, Then Write above commands
in Notepad and save them as filename.bat where filename is name of batch program you want to
set.
There are some more command line options with which you can play :
1.) If you want to see configuration of Windows Firewall, Then:
Open Command Prompt and type : netsh firewall show config
2.) If you want to reset your Firewall to default setting then you can type:
netsh firewall reset
Save A List of Files to a Text File by Extension
dir *.ext /s /b > files.txt
This command line will create a file called files.txt. When you open this file, there will be a
complete list of all the files in that directory and all subdirectories with the .ext extension. You
can then open up this text file in any text editor and work this the information.By changing the
ext part, you can select different files. For example, if you wanted to list all of the PDF
documents, you would type:
dir *.pdf /s /b > files.txt
Get Your IP Address Information
ipconfig /all
This will retrieve a pile of information about your network connection and IP information. From
this command, you can get:
• Host Name
• Primary DNS Suffix
• Node Type
• IP Routing Enabled
• WINS Proxy Enabled
• DNS Suffix Search List
• Connection-specific DNS Suffix
• Network Adapter Description
• Physical (MAC) Address
• DHCP Enabled
• IP Address
• Subnet Mask
• Default Gateway
• DNS Servers
Get Installed Driver Information
driverquery
It can be very useful when troubleshooting to know what drivers are installed on a system. This
command will give you a complete listing of the drivers and when they were installed.
Copy Files Via Infrared Port
irftp filename.ext
This will fire up the Wireless Link dialog so that you can copy the specified file via an infrared
port.
Find Files Opened By Network Users
openfiles /query
If you are running a system and you want to know who has files open on your computer, this
command will provide you a list of those users and the files that they have open.
Note: If you get an error saying The system global flag ‘maintain objects list’ needs to be
enabled to see local opened files, you can fix this issue by typing openfiles /local on. You
will have to reboot the system but it will resolve the issue.
Monitor Port Activity
netstat -a 30
This will show you all of the TCP/IP ports that are being used on your system and what they are
connecting to (or being connected from). It will continue to monitor these ports and refresh the
information every 30 seconds. You can change the refresh rate by changing the number at the
end of the command.

Recover Information From A Corrupt File
recover filename.ext
If you have a disk with damaged sectors, you can attempt to recover as much information as
possible from the damaged file. Data that is not damaged can be retrieved but data in damaged
sectors will be lost.
Defragment Remote Computer
rexec remotePC defrag C: /F
This command used the rexec command to force a defragment of the C: drive on the computer
named remotePC. You can use whatever you want to for the command (I just used defrag C: /F
as an example). This is very useful for remote maintenance.
Retrieve Detailed System Information
systeminfo
With this command, you can retrieve the following information:
• Host Name
• OS Name
• OS Version
• OS Manufacturer
• OS Configuration
• OS Build Type
• Registered Owner
• Registered Organization
• Product ID
• Original Install Date
• System Up Time
• System Manufacturer
• System Model
• System type
• Processor(s)
• BIOS Version
• Windows Directory
• System Directory
• Boot Device

Automatically Defragment C: Daily
schtasks /create /tn "Defrag C" /tr "defrag c: /f" /sc daily /st 23:00:00 /ru
"System"
This will set your computer to automatically perform a complete defrag of the C: drive each day
at 11:00:00 PM (23:00:00). It does this by creating a scheduled task called Defrag C. It will run
this command under the computer’s system account.
Map A Drive Letter to a Folder
subst W: C:windows
Sometimes, your directory structure can get pretty deep and complicated. You can simplify this a
bit by mapping a drive letter to commonly used folders. In the example that I have given, this
will create a drive letter W: and map it to the C:windows directory. Then, whenever you go into
My Computer, you will see a W: drive and when you browse to it, it will automatically take you
to the contents of the C:windows folder.
You can do this with any unused drive letter and any folder that exists on your system.
List All Tasks Running On The Computer
tasklist
It’s always good to know what is running on your system. This is the command line version of
the processes tab in Taks Manager.
Kill A Program
taskkill /im programname.exe /f
If, when using the tasklist command, you discover that there is something running you just want
killed. This is the way to do it! Just note the program name and use it in place of
programname.exe.
Reboot a Remote Computer
shutdown -r -f -m remotePC -c "System will be rebooted in 20 seconds"
Sometimes, you just need to reboot a system. This will do it remotely and give the user a 20
second warning.
Tip : To open Command Prompt, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
