Hello, I am using windows XP Home edition and I am having trouble opening up command line programs, (programs in dos) Everytime I open one up it immediatly exits out, can anyone help me and tell me as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Thank you so very much
they coukd be unsupported, older DOS programs. Which programs are you trying to open?
You can see error messages if you run them from an open command shell (cmd.exe)
Im trying to open programs like John the ripper, And the new NMAP. Everytime I click on the executable (the EXE) It comes up for liek a second and goes away. Even if i was to basicly create a simple little program in C it would do the same.
what happens when you run it from a command shell?
When open up cmd.exe and put the path in and hit enter it will nowt open, it says its not a valid command, program, orbatch file.
Ok i got that to work, but when it opens up it doesnt allow me to choose any options or anything because its back to the same command line.
Put a batch file in the same directory as the executable and add the following line.
@call command
Then create a shortut on the desktop to the batch file, open it and type the commands:
john.com to get the options
usage is
john [options] [password files]
Ok, Thanks so very much for that, i got that working all right and fine but im gettin an error with john now.
My syntax used is John.exe -single C:\thisfile.pwd
Now the error is that its only trying one password as shown in the pic below. Do you know the problem?
I've never used that program so the only other think i can say is to use
John -single C:\thisfile.pwd
