Bypass a disabled command prompt with /k

# Win+R (To bring up Run Box)
cmd.exe /k "whoami"

Description: 'This command prompt has been disabled by your administrator...' Can usually be seen in environments such as kiosks PCs, a quick hacky work around is to use /k via the windows run box. This will carry out the command and then show the restriction message, allowing for command execution.

Apache map external drive to webroot

  • Create a directory on the external HDD, assuming it is mounted under the /media directory, like so:

sudo mkdir /media/web_files

  • Change the ownership of this directory and all the files under it to be owned by the Apache user www-data like so:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /media/web_files/

  • Create a directory under the web root directory ie /var/www/html/ like so:

sudo mkdir /var/www/html/external_files

  • Bind the /media/web_files/ directory to the /var/www/html/external_files/ directory like so:

sudo mount --bind /media/web_files/ /var/www/html/external_files/

  • All files on the external HDD under the /media/web_files/ directory will be available for Apache under the /var/www/html/external_files/ directory and you can link to them in your web page that resides in /var/www/html/ like so:

<a href="external_files/file1.mp4">file1</a>

Unzip a chunked archive

  • you will see files ending in .001, .002 etc etc

  • You will need to join them first. You may use the common linux app, cat as in the example below:

    cat test.zip* > ~/test.zip

    This will concatenate all of your test.zip.001, test.zip.002, etc files into one larger, test.zip file. Once you have that single file, you may run unzip test.zip
