PowerShell Flush DNS on multiple computers
# Flush DNS on multiple computers
$Servers = "Server01","Server02","Server03"
foreach ($Server in $Servers) {
Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_Process -Name Create -ArgumentList ("cmd.exe /c ipconfig /flushdns") -ComputerName $Server
Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_Process -Name Create -ArgumentList ("cmd.exe /c ipconfig /registerdns") -ComputerName $Server
}
Simple PowerShell Countdown Timer
[int]$Time = Read-Host "Enter time in minutes"
$Time = $Time * 60
$Length = $Time / 100
For ($Time; $Time -gt 0; $Time--) {
$min = [int](([string]($Time/60)).split('.')[0])
$Text = " " + $min + " minutes " + ($Time % 60) + "seconds left"
Write-Progress -Activity "Waiting for..." -Status $Text -PercentComplete ($Time / $Length)
Start-Sleep 1
}
Python Port Scanner
from datetime import datetime
# Clear the screen
subprocess.call('clear', shell=True)
# Ask for input
remoteServer = raw_input("Enter a remote host to scan: ")
remoteServerIP = socket.gethostbyname(remoteServer)
# Print a nice banner with information on which host we are about to scan
print "-" * 60
print "Please wait, scanning remote host", remoteServerIP
print "-" * 60
# Check what time the scan started
t1 = datetime.now()
# Using the range function to specify ports (here it will scans all ports between 1 and 1024)
# We also put in some error handling for catching errors
try:
for port in range(1,1025):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
result = sock.connect_ex((remoteServerIP, port))
if result == 0:
print "Port {}: Open".format(port)
sock.close()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print "You pressed Ctrl+C"
sys.exit()
except socket.gaierror:
print 'Hostname could not be resolved. Exiting'
sys.exit()
except socket.error:
print "Couldn't connect to server"
sys.exit()
# Checking the time again
t2 = datetime.now()
# Calculates the difference of time, to see how long it took to run the script
total = t2 - t1
# Printing the information to screen
print 'Scanning Completed in: ', total
Extract IP Addresses from File with PowerShell
$input_path = ‘c:\temp\input_file.txt’
$output_file = ‘c:\temp\extracted_ip_addresses.txt’
$regex = ‘\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b’
select-string -Path $input_path -Pattern $regex -AllMatches | % { $_.Matches } | % { $_.Value } > $output_file
I’m back
Might give this a try again.
