Find Out If Windows Server System Hacked / Cracked Or Not
Some time my work force me to do detective work on MS-Windows boxes. Just like Linux / UNIX / BSD system , Windows machines get *owned* a lot. Recently while searching for information I came across couple of nice built-in windows command line security tools to determine if a system has been hacked cracked.
Fortunately, Microsoft has built numerous tools into Windows so administrators and power users can analyze a machine to determine whether it's been compromised. In this tip, which is the first of a two-part series, Author has covered five useful command-line tools built into Windows for such analysis.

Blah who has time for all that. Find a dedicated managed server. I run with Server Intellect fully managed. They run full scans for me each month. One less thing I have to worry scan for. Spend more time being productive and less time chasing down wanna be hacker kiddies.
… seriously?
Every month?
What, so if you got compromised, that’s no problem, because you’ll find out like 4 weeks later.
Meanwhile some dude in Belarus has all your customer data, credit cards, etc
…or do you work for Server Intellect?
(Incidentally that’s not a jab at Server Intellect, I’m not familiar with them and they’re probably fantastic for all I know)
btw Great articles, though they would have been better if they pointed out which command line tools were more useful than others at spotting common cloaked rootkits..
