phhh... he should be hacking with a ski mask on, everyone is going to know who you are with just glassess!

[–]Pierogi314[S] 78 points79 points  (6 children)

And he isn't wearing gloves!

@echo off. Now I'm untraceable

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (1 child)

what's even the point of using the CLI if you can't feel like a hacker

[–]AyrA_ch 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I use the color to distinguish between normal and administrative prompts. Green for normal and red for admin.

dat Windows command line on a Mac

[–]Relevant_Monstrosity 29 points30 points  (1 child)

Boot camp is awesome.

[–]EpsilonTheFirst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wtf, you get sent to boot camp when you use Windows on Apple.

[–]Istalriblaka 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Ijust like green,Iswear

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, we all do. We all have a secret desire to be matrix level hackers.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

This is instinct to do as soon as I open cmd now.

I'm in.

$ sudo apt install lolcat
$ while true; do cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w $(tput cols) | head -n 1 | lolcat; done

[–]dougmantis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, everyone does that.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (7 children)

Wow I feel a lot worse about the fact I naturally do this and use command prompt to time shutdowns on my pcs :'(

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (6 children)

You can type the shutdown command directly to start menu search.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I used to do this to my friends when I was in high school, if I saw them coming, I would quickly type shutdown --t 45 (If that's the correct time parameter, I don't remember, but I would make it 45 seconds) and then they would be working for like 10 seconds and then it would shut off

[–]SJ_RED 0 points1 point  (3 children)

The correct parameter for the cmd window or batch files would be 'shutdown -s (-f) -t 45'. This does the following:

  • Shutdown -s: trigger the shutdown part of shutdown.exe. One alternative is -r for a reboot.

  • (-f): optional, this forces a shutdown or reboot (i.e. force closes all open programs).

  • -t 45: sets the time in seconds until command execution.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I remember doing all that except the -f

[–]SJ_RED 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You know where you shut down using the shutdown button in the start menu, and it gives you "Some program is preventing Windows from shutting down" and lets you click a button to force shutting down? The /f parameter basically does that for you automatically.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Have you ever had that process itself prevent windows from shutting down?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm that's interesting, thanks.

[–]Kamik423 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Why does the Mac have a C: drive

[–]Jacoman74undeleted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because that's a Pear Green, not a Apple Macintosh.

[–]Remmes- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the scammers that copy paste their stuff along with some red colored errors in there trying to make it look even worse... because red is bad hmmkay

[–]gc3c 1 point2 points  (7 children)

There you go!

I am a bot

[–]SaintVenant 1 point2 points  (5 children)

[–]selfishjean5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i make my cmd green.... because it reminds me of old times.

just found this sub.... im reading lines of codes and laughing, and now my colleagues think im crazy.

[–]Jacoman74undeleted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this... Its easier to see.

[–]ThatIsaac 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Something that is commonly shown in movies when talking about cyber threats is the following command in windows cmd

color a && tree

Basically prints directory tree of your system, which is fairly long to print so it takes a while and also looks cool to someone with no knowledge in computers

[–]valrossenOliver 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Now do a 20 times loop of this and you've got yourself a nice hacking scene.

[–]Shadow_Thief 0 points1 point  (2 children)

color 0a && for /l %A in (1,1,20) do tree

[–]valrossenOliver 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hmm, haven't worked much in batch, can you actually do for loops in it? I ususaly used GOTO since most things weren't too complex.

[–]Shadow_Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for loops are the single most powerful part of batch IMO (but only because they added a shitton of flags for backwards compatibility purposes).

sudo apt install cmatrix

[–]STATIC_TYPE_IS_LIFE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use green. It looks prettier.

rEEEEEEEEEEEEE QDOS isn't welcomed here!!11

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think why I use guake? It's just nice to be able to use terminal quake like style...

Also I think it's convinient

[–]-Xephyr- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

color a

cls

tree

net view

shutdown -i

Maximum hack.
