Heading back into the WIndows CMD challenge Starting at 7.2.4. Most of my learning time today though has been around seeing the Crowdstrike issue causing massive outages.

Raw Notes

Locating Files -CMD

• dir /s meow.txt → This will search the current directory and all of its sub directories for Meow.txt
• dir /s *.exe → The wildcard will allow us to search the current and all sub directories for all executables
• dir /s *.txt /p → Does similar to the one above but the /p switch makes the query stop when it fills the screen
• tree → Will create a tree showing us all sub directories in a more digestable view.
• tree Directory\SubDirectory /F → This will show the tree starting at SubDirectory the /F switch allows us to see all the files in the directories (maybe all might just be interesting)
• xfreerdp /u:itsme /v:111.111.111.111 → xfreerdp is a way to RDP via kali. DO not know how much I need to know about this tool but this command will be valuable to save for later.
