The magic of DOS
In this guide you will learn how to:
telnet
nslookup
So you have the latest and most luxurious “Fisher Price” version of Windows: XP. How can you use XP in a way that sets you apart from boring users?

Luser Alert: Whoever thinks this GTMHH will discuss how to blow people up and email Sandra Bullock will know I won’t tell them how.

The key to doing great things with XP is as simple as DO S. Yes, that’s right, DOS is just like MS-DOS, like MicroSoft Disk Operating System. Windows XP (as well as NT and 2000) comes with two versions of DOS. Command.com is the old version of DOS. Various versions of command.com come with Windows 95, 98, SE, ME, Windows 3, and DOS operating systems only.
Another DOS, which only comes with the XP, 2000, and NT operating systems, is cmd.exe. Usually cmd.exe is better than command.com because it is much more, it has more commands and in shell terms on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. For example, you can repeat the commands depending on who wants what you want. However, unlike bash, the DOS command history times out every time you shut down cmd.exe. The reason XP has a second version of DOS is that sometimes programs that will not run correctly in cmd.exe will work in command.com

Flame alert: Some texts throw each other because I dared to compare DOS with bash. I can compare cmd.exe with bash if I want to. Babysitter babysitter nah nah.
**************** DOS is Windows’ number one gateway to the Internet, and open sesame to the local area network. From DOS, without the need to download a hacker program, you can perform incredibly sophisticated scans and even access a not-so-good computer.
****************
You can go to prison. Warning: breaking a computer is illegal if you don’t have permission to do so from the owner of that computer. For example, if your friend gives you permission to log into their Hotmail account, it won’t protect you because Microsoft has Hotmail and they will never grant you permission.

You may receive warnings: some children have been expelled from school just because they are displaying a DOS prompt on the computer. Make sure you get WRITTEN permission from a teacher before proving that you can hack a school computer.

So how do you turn DOS on?
Click All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
Run cmd.exe. You will see a black screen with white text, say something like this:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

Your first step is to figure out what commands you can run in DOS. If you type “help” at the DOS prompt, you will get a long list of commands. However, this list makes all hackers like to use commands. These are some of the remaining hacker commands.
TCP / IP commands:
telnet
netstat
nslookup
tracert
whistle
ftp
NetBIOS command (just some examples):
nbtstat
net usage
clean look
Clean local groups
TCP / IP stands for Internet Transmission Protocol / Protocol Control. As you can guess from its name, TCP / IP is the protocol that the Internet runs on. along with the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). So when you connect to the internet, you can test these commands with other computers on the internet. Most local area networks also use TCP / IP.
The NetBIOS (Net Basic Input / Output System) protocol is another way of communicating between computers. It is often used by Windows computers and Unix / Linux-like computers running Samba. You can often use NetBIOS commands over the Internet (built-in, so to speak, TCP / IP). However, in most cases, the firewall will block the NetBIOS command. Also, not many Internet computers run NetBIOS because it is so easy to use. We will discuss the NetBIOS command in the following guide for Hacking XP.
