Hacker Scripts – You too can be a Hollywood “hacker”!

I figured it was about time to upload some more fun scripts to my SecurityTools repo, so I went with two batch hacker scripts that I had found and modified some time ago.

The first is Matrix inspired, and is easily modifiable for your chosen colors/length of string.

This script changes the text color of the console to green, and then loops over an echo of 6 random numbers (between 0 and 32767).

@echo off
:random
color A
echo %random%%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%
goto :random

The second one is a bit closer to Hollywood magic, and it has a bit more going on.

This one will loop over an ipconfig /all followed by 3 pings to the loopback. Additionally, it will alternate the screen colors between red on gray and black on white.

@echo off
:random
color 07
ipconfig /all
color 7c
ping -n 3 -w 1 127.0.0.1
goto :random

Nothing too technical this week, but some fun hacker scripts that anyone can run.

As usual, the code and updates can always be found in my GitHub repository as well.
