Solved batch

BurningSuperDef · Oct 26, 2022

Hello, I'm working on a batch script that does some payloads and I'm going to test it on my Windows 98 VM. I want to figure out for one of the payloads how to duplicate md so I can create something like this:

md c:\windows\desktop\Constant_000
md c:\windows\desktop\Constant_001
md c:\windows\desktop\Constant_002
md c:\windows\desktop\Constant_003
md c:\windows\desktop\Constant_004
md c:\windows\desktop\Constant_005

But I want it to go up to 999 and I'm questioning how do I do this automatically? I've looked in excel and on YouTube but nothing helps.
And if you're asking yes I do know this is similar to one of the Winfig malware payloads.
I will also attach the script, but just so you know its meant for windows 98.

Best Regards,

Lee

So... Your wanting to do harm at your own expense? Or just for fun. Why not create a virus for WIN11

Excel is your best bet. You can make a batch file in a couple minutes.
Type your first line in the first cell.
Move your mouse cursor to the lower right hand corner of the first cell until you see a + sign.

Now just left click and drag down. Excel will update the number automatically.

Just copy that into notepad and save it with the .bat extension.

Have you considered adding a simple for loop which terminates at 999? I'm not sure if Windows 98 supports it though.

Batch script loop

I need to execute a command 100-200 times, and so far my research indicates that I would either have to copy/paste 100 copies of this command, OR use a for loop, but the for loop expects a list of ...

@BurningSuperDef you were given the same answer in your previous thread? I'm not sure why you don't add a simple for loop?

As I answered in the other thread, use powershell. Just change 1..100 to 1..1000

Powershell isn't available with Windows 98, the user wishes to create numerous folders using a batch file and then run that said batch on a Windows 98 VM.

Oops, my bad. I read that as Windows XP. Geez, Windows 98....that's ancient.

VBScript was available, and used for actual malware.

Code:

Dim FSO, f

On Error Resume Next
For i = 1 To 999
  'Leading zeros for 3 digit filenames
  folderName = "C:\Windows\Desktop\Constant_" & Right("00" & i,3) & " "
  Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  Set f = fso.CreateFolder(folderName)
Next

> cscript constant.vbs
467 folders will do fine...
