Don't run the wifi password reveal command on your work computer. 3 hours after I ran this I got a call from my boss. He said, "if it was you that ran this command it's ok, if not we need to know." I told him I had learned how to do this from Chuck. Thanks Chuck for getting me in trouble!
There is one more interesting thing about CMD that not everyone knows. CMD is very respectful of your file shortcut. If you create a shortcut for your batch script and associate it with a custom icon, then the console window launched by this shortcut will take not only the shortcut name in the window header, but also the selected icon. I don't think any other file (like a text file) behaves like this.
This video is a game-changer! I never knew some of these commands existed, and they’re so useful. Thanks for putting this together-it’s going to save me so much time!

You're a godsend, dude. You got me interested in Linux, and after I've had a draining past few months trying to get through a lot of dry information for the A+ (because I tried to focus on the hardware - my biggest weakness - and not the scripting and pentesting/cyber defense aspects that I love), I'd about lost my drive for studying.

Your stuff is fast-paced and direct, and it helps my brain to get psyched up so damn much. Thank you!!!
Yeah good luck. The hardware is the easy part. Something I realized is that computers are not a quick learn it all in a few months. It's a field of science. I started self studying for comptia and after 4 months ended up signing up for the harvard free computer science course and EVEN that isnt enough. Now im getting my associates in IT. If you really wanna get into the cyber security you gotta learn computer technician, network technician, and then how to program and code all the different aspects of a computer. So C, Python, HTML, Java, SQL... I mean at least if you want to be serious about it. Dont get into computers racing to the end goal. Because if you try to rush and cram you will drive yourself crazy. It's not about memorizing it's about KNOWING how it works and why and how to interact with it on a mush more understanding level. Alot of the stuff network chuck shows is good for goofing off or having little tips and tricks, but when it comes to being serious about the field alot of these youtube videos dont even come close to cutting it. College or a paid for course is gonna be the way to go. Good luck hope you meet your goal. A career choice takes time. Cyber security is not like the movies where kids just hack shit.to do cyber security you must know computer science because that is the only way you can identify flaws in code and networks and other things like hardware or software exploits.

The use case for F2 is actually pretty handy. If you're running various back to back commands but using alternate properties or changing directories for the command, you can simply revert back to command core and make those alterations by remembering the last character of the command you want to edit for the next line. An extremely basic example of this might be "ipconfig /release F2 r" where you can then complete the command with "renew". F4 can similarly edit the beginning of the command.
to get an Administrator CMD prompt without using the mouse and not changing the settings permanently: 1. Press Windows Key and release it 2. type "CMD" 3. press and hold the and keys while hitting the key This also works for all other commands to run them as Administrator

This is not a problem - it WILL ASK for administrative credentials. Problem is somewhere else - you should NOT be an administrator on your normal work account.
Agreed, better option is to right click start button and select the Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) option to prevent accidently giving privilege's to malware.

I have a request, Make a video on cmd that a developer absolutely needs. And instead of fast videos like this. Make it in a way to show how an I actually use these in practical work for troubleshooting
@Frode Torsten (Raven) Yeah that's what I'm saying, because as you mentioned it pretty much puts your system at risk. But it's interesting how you can use Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run something as an admin in the run box, I've been wanting to know how I could do that.
@@pyp2205 just google "windows shortcuts" ... you'll find plenty of those "tricks" that are actually not tricks but common knowledge among it people.. chuck makes u thinks it's magic... but it's not.. it's been in windows for a VERY VERY long time... (some of his "tricks" are even from the MS-DOS era)
You should have added the Cipher decrypt option to command 3, not teach users just to encrypt.. cipher /d is the command to decrypt that very same file.

For CMD prompt screen background color just right click on command prompt then click open file location right click on command prompt choose properties then colors. Oh i learned this by your open cmd prompt with admin by default. Thanks Chuck.
Defaulting to admin in CMD can be dangerous, especially if you aren't entirely sure what you're doing. In the interest of caution, continue to deliberately launch CMD as admin only when you need it. Plenty of Windows tools can still be used in standard user context.
if you don't want to be admin, don't log in as an admin user. The problem is that often you won't be able to do things or access files, even though your user should have access to it. This odd windows behaviour breaks a lot of stuff.
@@svr5423 I understand what you're saying, but fundamentally, from the perspective of making your attack vectors as small as possible, no one should ever run cmd as admin by default. Actions like that should be a deliberate choice.
@@eroc But that doesn't make any sense. If you don't need to work as an admin, use a user that doesn't have admin rights. Your normal user would not be able to have admin cmd. But you admin user should have admin cmd when he opens one.

My personal favorite thing about opening a command prompt is by navigating in folder view to where I want to run command prompt, then in the folder view address typing cmd and poof, there it is!
Not sure if setting CMD.exe to launch as admin by default is a good idea. Some applications spawn a cmd.exe process to do various things, and it might not need admin privileges. Yet now it's always gonna show a UAC prompt, or that might just not work at all.
Yeah that's what I'm saying, you wouldn't want things to open as administrator by default. In fact for UAC prompts, you would want some form of authentication for administrator privileges depending on your environment.
CMD 7: the batch file command to get the wifi passwords doesn't work. It's also different from the command that is in the free pdf I downloaded (but that command doesn't work neither).
not sure if it's due to formatting issues, for the variables a and f, they should have double % before them instead of single %. But I have to admit that even though I got the bat file working but none of the password really show up despite the fact that the previous cmd commands all work for my wifi. Hope somebody can get that explained
Try this: @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('netsh wlan show profile ^| findstr /R /C:"All User Profile"') do ( set "profile=%%a" set "profile=!profile:~1!" set wifi_pwd= for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%F IN ('netsh wlan show profile "!profile!" key^=clear ^| findstr /R /C:"Key Content"') do ( set "wifi_pwd=%%F" set "wifi_pwd=!wifi_pwd:~1!" ) if defined wifi_pwd ( echo !profile! : !wifi_pwd! ) else ( echo !profile! : No password found ) ) pause
F2 could be helpful for longer stringed commands or you want to rerun a command with a different action or part of your command didn't work but you know where the error might've been such as "netsh wlan show profile wifi1" but you meant to type "wifi2", press *f2* > 'w' > then you have "netsh wlan show profile "

btw, it's way better to have CMD not run as admin by default.. create a .LNK named ACMD (admin-cmd) or whatever you like to name it, and use THAT as always admin... especially if you're in networking/fileshares you're gonna get problems with windows if you do stuff in admin mode, cuz they don't trickle down to the normal usermode... having cmd always as admin starting, is like opening bash with "sudo su" ... i USE that a lot, but, ... my terminal never starts in SU mode by default, you just don't do that.... why would you do that on windows then?
I concur, this seems like a bad idea. For one security, for another there's some stuff you should know what you're messing with before you just type in commands. Purposefully elevating to admin at least gets you in the right mindset. Also wht about non-admin users? Ever have a family member or just anyone else, you'd need to give them admin access or give them your password to use CMD. And I can tell, I've had to tell non-comuter people to enter CMD and run an ipconfig A LOT! So you're the only user on your machine? Well, maybe, but still just seems like a bad idea. And I would still be concerned about security. At the very least I think we can all agree this is not best practice. And for good reason!
i was wondering the same thing, now if a hacker gets into your computer remote access they can run as admin without being logged in as admin. you guys are the pros but thats just my take. maybe im wrong but it would seem like im not.

Hey Chuck -- the ">" operator in the context you're using means "redirect." The ">>" operator is similar and performs the same redirection but is "append."

These are nifty commands for those married to a command line. Personally, I don't interface with Windows that way, nor do I use file explorer to navigate or get tasks done. Like your energy though.
While not a command, more a "tips&tricks", I just discovered that CTR/mousewheel will zoom many window types, include cmd prompt and VirtualBox windows. Also works with firefox, chrome. *** With virtualbox / linux guests (probably *any* guest) while the *text* IS zoomed the window doesn't seem to get resized properly (this is in Windows 11 / Virtualbox 7.0) When the window text reaches the bottom, Vb seems to keep using the "old" window size, and the text is therefore "invisible" . Issuing a clear command is my work around for now.

Can u tell me how to change the username for ex he has the name ( chuck) i want to change that

As someone in the cyber security field, i would highly advise against setting your command line default as admin. For the love of God, just don’t.
Why?
@@harishmarenju1484 OP can correct me on this but I think if a hacker gains access to your PC, they would skip all privilege escalation procedures to gain admin and just straight up own your computer.
This is not a problem - it WILL ASK for administrative credentials. Problem is somewhere else - you should NOT be an administrator on your normal work account.
Agreed, better option is to right click start button and select the Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) option to prevent accidently giving privilege's to malware.
@@timk9847i have a powershell executive icon on my Desktop, with administrative privileges. How is that bad? If someone knows the code to open my PC he also will have access to admin console anyway
Thank you for helping me get started learning cybersecurity
omg .... if u follow chucks lead, you're going to get into trouble very soon.... he gives bad advice in this vid, very bad
ive only just started my IT journey and this was unbelievably helpfull!
dude, i was searching for this for ages. done it in highschool, 25 years ago and i forgot about it. and for the last 3 months i was searching for it. copy rar archive to a pic. thanx a lot!
i think you should check the subtitles at 8:47 💀💀
You are the man, Chuck! Thanks for sharing. Great tips as always
Please complete the CCNA course sir love from India 🇮🇳
What are you learning CCNA for?
@@bfandi4966 actually I won't be going for the certification just requesting to complete the course because Chuck's explaination was by far the finest I have seen on the whole youtube I tried many youtubers before him professor Messer, bitten tech and many other Indian youtubers no disrespect for them but chuck explains all the concepts as if he is teaching a 8 years old kid and by the way learning networking concepts because I am looking forward into penetration testing
Terminal is not required to drag-and-drop filenames from Explorer. That works in standard CMD and Powershell.
One of the best parts of this video is understanding that powershell and command prompt isn't the same thing, college did not prepare me enough for that lol (my minor is cybersecurity sadly, don't judge, it's not the best program)
The weird thing is some bad apps out uninstalled in the temp folders so be careful if you are doing the delete temp, you might not be able to uninstall a program especially if it doesn't let you reinstall over an existing app
Chuck bro! I am a Software developer with a Mechatronics Engineering background. As I developer I am really interested in Network and Security. I love learning things the way you teach them. I have a request, Make a video on cmd that a developer absolutely needs. And instead of fast videos like this. Make it in a way to show how an I actually use these in practical work for troubleshooting
@Frode Torsten (Raven) Yeah that's what I'm saying, because as you mentioned it pretty much puts your system at risk. But it's interesting how you can use Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run something as an admin in the run box, I've been wanting to know how I could do that.
@@pyp2205 just google "windows shortcuts" ... you'll find plenty of those "tricks" that are actually not tricks but common knowledge among it people.. chuck makes u thinks it's magic... but it's not.. it's been in windows for a VERY VERY long time... (some of his "tricks" are even from the MS-DOS era)
@Frode Torsten (Raven) @NetworkChuck maybe likes to play some baits for dummies xd
You should have added the Cipher decrypt option to command 3, not teach users just to encrypt.. cipher /d is the command to decrypt that very same file.

Still not working
Here is the comand for /f "skip=9 tokens=1,2 delims=:" %i in ('netsh wlan show profiles') do @if "%j" NEQ "" (echo SSID: %j & netsh wlan show profiles %j key= clear | findstr "Key Conent") & echo.
Ok, I'm working sinds 25 years old inMicrosoft environment IT and I've learned, yet, more than before.
Thank you.
Interresting, very interresting.
For CMD prompt screen background color just right click on command prompt then click open file location right click on command prompt choose properties then colors. Oh i learned this by your open cmd prompt with admin by default. Thanks Chuck.
I’m thinking about making a similar video but hacking documentary format.
Defaulting to admin in CMD can be dangerous, especially if you aren't entirely sure what you're doing. In the interest of caution, continue to deliberately launch CMD as admin only when you need it. Plenty of Windows tools can still be used in standard user context.
I was looking to see if someone was going to mention this
Especially if you work in a field where sometimes you just need a public IP
if you don't want to be admin, don't log in as an admin user.
The problem is that often you won't be able to do things or access files, even though your user should have access to it. This odd windows behaviour breaks a lot of stuff.
@@svr5423 I understand what you're saying, but fundamentally, from the perspective of making your attack vectors as small as possible, no one should ever run cmd as admin by default. Actions like that should be a deliberate choice.
@@eroc But that doesn't make any sense.
If you don't need to work as an admin, use a user that doesn't have admin rights.
Your normal user would not be able to have admin cmd. But you admin user should have admin cmd when he opens one.

Here is another nice windows tip for executing apps as administator: Hold shift + control and click the program like cmd to open as administrator.

Instead of F5 you can also press the up arrow key to cycle through previous commands 👍
My personal favorite thing about opening a command prompt is by navigating in folder view to where I want to run command prompt, then in the folder view address typing cmd and poof, there it is!
Not sure if setting CMD.exe to launch as admin by default is a good idea. Some applications spawn a cmd.exe process to do various things, and it might not need admin privileges. Yet now it's always gonna show a UAC prompt, or that might just not work at all.
Don't worry, just disable UAC it's gonna be fine. 😂
@@buldozzer3456 tech tip; don't do that lmao
just don't use cmd then
Yeah that's what I'm saying, you wouldn't want things to open as administrator by default. In fact for UAC prompts, you would want some form of authentication for administrator privileges depending on your environment.
He didn't change every instance of CMD to be run as administrator, only the shortcut on the start menu.
CMD 7: the batch file command to get the wifi passwords doesn't work. It's also different from the command that is in the free pdf I downloaded (but that command doesn't work neither).
not sure if it's due to formatting issues, for the variables a and f, they should have double % before them instead of single %. But I have to admit that even though I got the bat file working but none of the password really show up despite the fact that the previous cmd commands all work for my wifi. Hope somebody can get that explained
Try this: @echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('netsh wlan show profile ^| findstr /R /C:"All User Profile"') do (
set "profile=%%a"
set "profile=!profile:~1!"
set wifi_pwd=
for /F "tokens=2 delims=:" %%F IN ('netsh wlan show profile "!profile!" key^=clear ^| findstr /R /C:"Key Content"') do (
set "wifi_pwd=%%F"
set "wifi_pwd=!wifi_pwd:~1!"
)
if defined wifi_pwd (
echo !profile! : !wifi_pwd!
) else (
echo !profile! : No password found
)
)
pause
F2 could be helpful for longer stringed commands or you want to rerun a command with a different action or part of your command didn't work but you know where the error might've been such as "netsh wlan show profile wifi1" but you meant to type "wifi2", press *f2* > 'w' > then you have "netsh wlan show profile "
Very cool. Old hand at this , but learned some stuff I was not aware of .

btw, it's way better to have CMD not run as admin by default.. create a .LNK named ACMD (admin-cmd) or whatever you like to name it, and use THAT as always admin... especially if you're in networking/fileshares you're gonna get problems with windows if you do stuff in admin mode, cuz they don't trickle down to the normal usermode... having cmd always as admin starting, is like opening bash with "sudo su" ... i USE that a lot, but, ... my terminal never starts in SU mode by default, you just don't do that.... why would you do that on windows then?
I concur, this seems like a bad idea. For one security, for another there's some stuff you should know what you're messing with before you just type in commands. Purposefully elevating to admin at least gets you in the right mindset. Also wht about non-admin users? Ever have a family member or just anyone else, you'd need to give them admin access or give them your password to use CMD. And I can tell, I've had to tell non-comuter people to enter CMD and run an ipconfig A LOT! So you're the only user on your machine? Well, maybe, but still just seems like a bad idea. And I would still be concerned about security.
At the very least I think we can all agree this is not best practice. And for good reason!
Just press ctrl+shift+enter, it runs as admin.
i was wondering the same thing, now if a hacker gets into your computer remote access they can run as admin without being logged in as admin. you guys are the pros but thats just my take. maybe im wrong but it would seem like im not.
@@TheSpecialist54 you are right there..
@@BoGy1980 on the contrary if someone has remote access can't they just right click on command prompt to run as admin? Like a double edged sword.

Thanks for the links in the description.
Happy to see mind-blowing results on cmd.
i love how happy u are in all ur videos it makes learning alot more fun
I legit love the curl command with the weather info. i didnt know that. thanks.
Hey Chuck, I will be stealing every one of these for my summer camp this year to get kids excited about SysAdmin stuff :) .😆
i like how it says i cant live without these but i have been living without them just fine.
Wow learned quite a few new commands! The right arrow key also does what the F1 key does.
F7 has always been a major time saver.
I really appreciate watching people like you, and enjoy your videos I was a videos showing how someone figured out the blue LEDs . An idea ran through my head I trying to figure out way to cure cancer and any illness creating wave forms got to go thank you
Video saved a life today, thanks Chuck
I think that's one of your greatest videos ever
3:32 best moment of my life
First video i've watched from you, and I must say, I really enjoy the presentation/format, and positive/excited attitude!
My guy you gotta stop with this fire content I haven’t slept in 3 days now
I honestly think that was the most interesting command prompt video have watch in a while! Very nice.
Well, that some sick video. Probably the best video showing Windows "hacks" I ever watched.
My friend suggested me in school to check your channel 😁 probably the channel ever on teaching ethical hacking
Hey Chuck -- the ">" operator in the context you're using means "redirect." The ">>" operator is similar and performs the same redirection but is "append."
This is the coolest video I've ever seen about windows command prompt!
I'm addicted to you content. Wow
i was following you since 2 year big fan bro
So I thought I was a semi pro as I've done batch commands since the introduction of DOS... I've created many complex scripts for servers and the like... thanks for showing me how much of an amature I still am....
"Much to learn... you still have. my padawan"
Yes my master (bows to you)
With great power comes great responsibility.
These are nifty commands for those married to a command line.
Personally, I don't interface with Windows that way, nor do I use file explorer to navigate or get tasks done.
Like your energy though.
Tanx allot NetworkChuck have nice weekend :)
I thought I was half decent with using command prompt before watching this… 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
While not a command, more a "tips&tricks", I just discovered that CTR/mousewheel will zoom
many window types, include cmd prompt and VirtualBox windows.
Also works with firefox, chrome.
*** With virtualbox / linux guests (probably *any* guest) while the *text* IS zoomed
the window doesn't seem to get resized properly (this is in Windows 11 / Virtualbox 7.0)
When the window text reaches the bottom, Vb seems to keep using the "old" window size,
and the text is therefore "invisible" . Issuing a clear command is my work around for now.
We learned that we need to learn Powershell. Nice :)
start>cmd>ctrl+shift+enter - boom
lot of fun on this one, Chuck. Thank u
one of the newest and most usefull commands is "winget upgrade --all"
It upgrades all installed and compatible software at its own. you dont have to download everything by your self
I also got a tip: If you press ther Right arrow key when writing a prompt, it will display the last prompt, characters by characters.
Brilliant video, I knew about quite a few of what was listed but the curl one will be handy
