While WinNT/2K and Windows 9x's built-in Label utility lets you change the labels of disk volumes, it does not provide any means for changing volume ids. This utiltity, VolumeID, allows you to change the ids of FAT and NTFS disks (floppies or hard drives) on both Windows NT/2K and Windows 9x.
Usage: volumeid <driveletter:> xxxx-xxxx
This is a command-line program that you must run from a command-prompt window.
Note that changes on NTFS volumes won't be visible until the next reboot. In addition, you should shut down any applications you have running before changing a volume id. NT may become confused and think that the media (disk) has changed after a FAT volume id has changed and pop up messages indicating that you should reinsert the original disk (!). It may then fail the disk requests of applications using those drives. |

UNIX provides a standard utility called Sync, which can be used to direct the operating system to flush all file system data to disk in order to insure that it is stable and won't be lost in case of a system failure. Otherwise, any modified data present in the cache would be lost. Here is a an equivalent that I wrote, called Sync, that works on all versions of Windows. Use it whenever you want to know that modified file data is safely stored on your hard drives. Unfortunately, Sync requires administrative privileges to run. This version also lets you flush removable drives such as ZIP drives.
Usage: sync [-r] [-e] [drive letter list]
-r Flush removable drives.
-e Ejects removable drives.
Specifying specific drives (e.g. c e ) will result in Sync only flushing those drives. |

Working on NT and Win2K means that executables and object files will many times have embedded UNICODE strings that you cannot easily see with a standard ASCII strings or grep programs. So we decided to roll our own. Strings just scans the file you pass it for UNICODE (or ASCII) strings of a default length of 3 or more UNICODE (or ASCII) characters. Note that it works under Windows 95 as well.
Usage: strings [-s] [-a] [-u] [-n X] <file or directory>
Strings takes wild-card expressions for file names, and additional command line parameters are defined as follows:
-s Recurse subdirectories.
-a Scan for ASCII only
-u Scan for UNICODE only
-n X Strings must be a minimum of X characters in length.
To search one or more files for the presence of a particular string using strings use a command like this:
strings * | findstr /i TextToSearchFor |

While the flexible security model employed by Windows NT-based systems allows full control over security and file permissions, managing permissions so that users have appropriate access to files, directories and Registry keys can be difficult. There's no built-in way to quickly view user accesses to a tree of directories or keys. AccessEnum gives you a full view of your file system and Registry security settings in seconds, making it the ideal tool for helping you for security holes and lock down permissions where necessary.
AccessEnum works on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 |
