Its beggining of end of cmd

 the latest Windows 10 Insider Build 14971, Microsoft has replaced Command Prompt with PowerShell as the default shell system. Microsoft calls it a way to bring the best command line experience to the users. However, the users can tweak some settings and make Command Prompt the default shell.

Microsoft has released a new windows 10 build 1471. The latest release brings many new features likes the ability to read EPUB books in Microsoft Edge web browser, and the new Paint 3D application. Another big change in Build 14971 comes in the form of making PowerShell the default shell in Windows 10.

Microsoft has included Command Prompt in its Windows operating systems since a very long time. One the other hand, PowerShell is a comparatively newer and more powerful shell in Windows operating system. With this change, Microsoft aims to bring “the best command line experiences to the forefront for all power users”.

From now on, in Windows 10, PowerShell will be the defacto command shell from File Explorer. If you’ll press WIN+X, you’ll get PowerShell menu. Command Prompt is also replaced from the context menu that pops up when you Shift+Right-click any empty space. Typing cmd in Run will also open PowerShell in the new Windows 10 Insider build.

IN WINDOWS 10, POWERSHELL WILL BE THE DEFACTO COMMAND SHELL


What if I want to stick with Command Prompt?

If you aren’t ready to accept this change and ditch Command Prompt, you can opt out of the WIN+X change. To do this, open Settings > Personalization > Taskbar. Now, turn the “Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell in the menu when I right-click the Start button or press Windows key+X” option to “Off”.

The users are having a choice at the moment, but the future of Command Prompt remains unclear. One can expect Redmond to remove Command Prompt completely in future.

Fun Fact: Microsoft is also celebrating PowerShell’s 10th birthday this week. So, a shift to a more powerful shell shouldn’t shock Windows users.

Perform cmd death attack

 A ping packet can also be malformed to perform denial of service attack by sending continuous ping packets to the target IP address. A continuous ping will cause buffer overflow at the target system and will cause the target system to crash.  We often use the CMD command “Ping” to mostly check if a server or a gateway is up and running. But, ping command can also be used for some other purposes. If we look at the basic level, then a ping packet is generally of size 56 bytes or 84 bytes (including IP header as well). However, a ping packet can also be made as large as up to 65536 bytes. Well, that’s the negative side of the ping packet. When we increase the size of the ping packet unnaturally, forming a malformed ping packet to attack a computer system, this type of attack is called “Ping of death” attack. How Ping of Death attack works? Not all computers can handle data larger than a fixed size. So, when a ping of death packet is sent f...

What is DNS

DNS stores the database of all the domain names and their IP addresses which are registered on the network. Most of us are quite familiar with the term DNS or Domain Name System. DNS can be thought of as an attendance register for various websites present over the internet. In the case of DNS, it maintains the database of all the websites Domain Names and their IP (Internet Protocol) addresses that are operational all over the world. Historical Notes The origins of DNS date back to the time of the ARPANET  when there were only a few computers to get an entry in the database. A HOSTS.TXT file was maintained by Stanford Research Institute, which constituted the data of all the machines, and was copied by all the host machines to remain updated. Jon Postel from the Information Sciences Institute requested Pau...
