CMD Script – Mx Records

Introduction: for the last four weeks, I was reading and studying. But, it was a little bit boring. So, I decided to read another book about MX – Records and their history. In the end of my studying week, I was free to write new articles and update my website for students and readers.
—————————————

This CMD script was designed to retrieve information from a specific domain, IP address and DNS server. It can also look for individual IP address and their network – range.
However, this script was only created for educational research. Therefore, please don’t use this script for illegal activity.

1.] Download Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) from the author’s website and install the application.

2.] Execute Notepad++ and copy this script. After that, you’ll need to save it as: “mx-lookup-xp.bat”.

Extension: .bat (batch file)

———— Copy Text —————

@echo off
cls
echo.
nslookup -querytype=mx website.com > MX.txt
echo.
nslookup -d -type=mx website.com > MX-Results.txt
echo.
nslookup -a -type=mx website.com > Aliases.txt
echo.
nslookup -querytype=all website.com > Mx-Aliases.txt
::exit

———— End —————

Notes: you’ll need to replace “website.com” with your own website.

3.] Run the script and there will be four ‘Text File’ for you to analyze and read. But, I would recommend you to delete these text file, when you’re done with the research.

4.] Enjoy!

WindowsXP – Clear System Memory

Introduction: Running multiple applications simultaneously for long periods leads to a gradual decrease in system performance over time. Often the only option is a restart. Even if you close the application in the Task Manager, the tasks/threads associated with the application are not released completely, depleting the system?s memory resources making the system unstable and sluggish.

When you’re using your computer occasionally and ran multiple applications simultaneously, for long periods, your system performances could decrease and response slowly – overtime. Often, the only option is to restart your operating system. Even if you close the application in the “Task Manager”, the services associated with the application are not released completely. The following trick is designed to offer fast relief…

Method One: Creating a shortcut.
———————————–
1.] Right click on your desktop and select: New >> Shortcut
2.] In the ‘text box’ enter this command: %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

3.] Click Next. In the next screen, you’ll need to give your shortcut a name.
For example: “Clear Memory” (without the quotes).

4.] Click: Finish
5.] Done!

Notes: whenever you feel that your system is sluggish, you can double click on this shortcut and it will take care of the ‘idle tasks’ by removing them. This can be used before you resort to restarting/rebooting the system.

Method Two: Creating a VBScript.
———————————–
1.] Download Notepad++ from the original author.
———————————–

http://filehippo.com/download_notepad/

———————————–

2.] Copy this script and save it as a “.vbs” extension.
