Fingerprint Attack in windows

[Flyinghaggis]

I am attempting to do/learn a fingerprint attack...

usage: expander.exe < infile > outfile

C:\Users\Dad\Desktop\HashcatGUI_045\hashcat-utils-1.0>rootkit_found.txt my.txt expander.exe

C:\Users\Dad\Desktop\HashcatGUI_045\hashcat-utils-1.0>my.txt rootkit_found.txt expander.exe

C:\Users\Dad\Desktop\HashcatGUI_045\hashcat-utils-1.0>expander.exe rootkit_found.txt my.txt

C:\Users\Dad\Desktop\HashcatGUI_045\hashcat-utils-1.0>expander.exe rootkit_found.txt | my.txt

C:\Users\Dad\Desktop\HashcatGUI_045\hashcat-utils-1.0>expander.exe rootkit_found.txt | sort -u my.txt

I have tried all variations that I can think of and have posted the ones above I remember (as I had to reboot my machine) and the only one that works is the last one (expander.exe rootkit_found.txt | sort -u my.txt) but the output is confined to the screen and does not save to file.

The first command rootkit_found.txt my.txt expander.exe opens the rootkit_found.txt file in the Emeditor proggy but does not append the above hashes/passwords.

Can someone give me some advice or point me in the right direction for the correct syntax so that I can save the output to file.

It tells you right there in the usage:

usage: expander.exe < infile > outfile

So in your case,

Code:

expander.exe < rootkit_found.txt > my.txt

Or,

Code:

expander.exe < rootkit_found.txt | sort -u > my.txt

You really should learn how to use your shell.

But thank you for the clarification....

just to highlight what epixoip wrote:

every character there has a specific meaning

No, those are for IO redirection.
