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!
but will the info be sent in log even if you are not connected to that wifi,or you are at home
or maybe it was not due to router,rather your work pc was rigged(which means,they definetily knew it was your pc)
@@crazyguy8817 exactly
How can your boss know the command was run but not who ran it?
This command is only for your computer to do its safe to do and not a danger What are you going on about? lol
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.

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. I've been trying everything and just felt like a burnout loser. I came back and watched two of your videos and, already, I feel my motivation coming back. Your stuff is fast-paced and direct, and it helps my brain to get psyched up so damn much. Thank you!!!

Awesome!!!! The command to display wireless network passwords is all I need. You rock! THANK YOU for this!!!!
I love these tips but I wish there was more detail regarding what each part of the command (i.e "-s" or "+h") does! Great video Chuck!!
s is start, h is header of what i understand ;)
/? for détails of commands. like --help in Linux
Every main command can go with /? so we can see all of the sub commands for it. There are also sub programs that go with own commands like "diskpart" for example. Command prompt is mostly useful when something is broken so typing commands is "shortcut" to fix some things. But for example copying/sharing files to server or other PC i prefer regular windows interface with sharing set up, or jus uploading it to cloud or some other site temporarily.
+s gives it the system attribute, when it is applied it must be removed before applying any other change to the attributes. +h gives it the hidden attribute, to make it hidden. +r give it the read-only attribute, so that you can't write to that file. This was all gotten with a simple google search, you are welcome.
Thanks for the links in the description. Happy to see mind-blowing results on cmd.
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.
As a network nerd, I agree
This just made my life so much easier. Can't believe I've been manually backspacing out everything for 10+ years of IT work.

Migrating to Linux and using the terminal for most of what you do is great, but learning how to do the same in Windows is a game changer. I use have dual-boot system cause some of the tools I need to work (plus games) only run on Windows (even Wine can't handle some of them), and while I'm pretty confortable with the shell on Linux, I'm learning something new everyday with the new(ish) windows powershell, so keep these videos coming!

ive only just started my IT journey and this was unbelievably helpfull!
I think there are even a few commands that work in the address bar. Try the attrib command there next time you need it for something. Just make sure you are in the folder you want to do it to the contents of. Try other commands but use them cautiously if they can cause any damage, just in case they do work!! It is your responsibility to back your files up and decide what you do with your own PC and I am not liable if you mess anything up or lose any important data. Remember that thing I said about backup copies? The more important that data is the more of those backup copies you may want to keep!! Unless you have it in some other form, once it is gone it is gone for good and you will not get it back or if you do it will not be easy!!

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

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

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
This is amazing, i really enjoyed.
Love your frantic energy or and your smarts!
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
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 "

It is my first time watching your videos and your content is so informative and i love your content :)
Imagine not subscribing to NetworkChuck
I know right
Imagine using Windows
Yeah
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.
This was a great video, Love it!

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
First of all from a SEC standpoint, or ever just general use cases, you should NOT always run cmd in Admin. Makes the attack of that machine so much easier. And also allows 3rd party programs Admin level control any time they run a background task. (VERY BAD) Just do this when you need id. ( WIN+R, "cmd.exe", ctrl+shift+enter ), it still required you to allow it, (somewhat more secure) and wont accidentally break some stuff by accident.
@@WACtheRaven 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...

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. 😂
There's a better way. WIN+R "cmd.exe" I use diskpart A LOT lol
@@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.

This is the coolest video I've ever seen about windows command prompt!
Many Thanks :-) for sharing your valuable knowledge, is very much appreciated.
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.
