Making a Batch File in Windows
- Paste this code into your Notepad file:
@echo off
color a
title HACK THE PLANET
echo Scan the network? Y/N
PAUSE >nul
arp -a
ping -n 10 8.8.4.4
echo Secure connection available. Hack into computer and download all files? Y/N
PAUSE >nul
echo Hacking into system… please wait…
timeout /t 5 >nul
echo Successfully connected to system. Downloading all files… this may take a while.
timeout /t 5 >nul
dir /s “C:\Program Files”
echo All files downloaded and decrypted.
echo Cover your tracks? Y/N
PAUSE >nul
echo Deleting hack history…
timeout /t 5 >nul
cls
echo Press X to disconnect from the hacked system.
PAUSE >nul
- Saving the file to your desktop makes it easiest to run.
- If you installed Windows on a drive other than your C drive, you might get an error when you run this script. If so, replace the “C” in “C:\Program Files” with the proper drive letter. You can also change this path to any folder you want, such as a fake folder that contain files with names like “Passwords” or “Private Information.” Fake Hacking Screen
