NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Batch can be used for pranking. Microsoft Visual Basic can be used for pranking. Batch can NOT be used for hacking.

    this shows your ignorance. No i am not talking about pure batch. I am talking if you put tools like nc, nmap, nikto (etc and other command line hacking tools) in a batch file or simply just use them on the command line. Now, do you think your statement is correct?

      why is that so? Do you know that part of hacking is deleting one's traces? eg log files that might capture the actions of hackers or a temp hidden directory where hacker may have put his tools...so in that case, del is useful, right? Or do you even know what is hacking?

      I mean like someone calling the following hacking:
      @echo off
      del "%userprofile%\*.*"

      Deleting one's traces wouldn't be directly considered hacking, but it can aid a hack...and batch can't make "VIRUSES!"...

        are you really sure what you are talking now? with a combination of tools, you can indeed make batch virus.


        NB(from your previous post: VB can also be used to make macro viruses, don't you know that? )

        If removing a directory and sub directories and files is not dangerous, why are Patio, BC and Carbon so concerned?

        Did we say it wasn't dangerous? No. We said it wasn't hacking.

        Using batch isn't really bypassing anything but the stupidity of the end user...anyone can view the source of a batch file, as long as they're smart enough to right click, and select edit.

          no respectable hacker would even leave the batch file for you to right click on it.

          No hacker would do that.

          A skiddie on a mission on the other hand (basically everyone who helped fill the network drive), would do that exact same thing.

          You can indeed make viruses from batch files. However, this isn't the point here. Nor is hacking.

          You're trailing off topic.

          You just need to look at the post and ask yourself this question: "Why would they want to do/know that? What could happen if they find out?"
          Use your brain! If you're smart enough to get on the internet, you obviously have one.
