System Commands Reference
Overview
This skill provides comprehensive system-level commands for security assessment and enumeration.
File Operations
List Files
{
"action": "list_files",
"path": "C:\\",
"recursive": false
}
Read File
{
"action": "read_file",
"file_path": "C:\\path\\to\\file.txt",
"encoding": "utf-8"
}
Write File
{
"action": "write_file",
"file_path": "C:\\output\\result.txt",
"content": "file content here"
}
File Info
{
"action": "get_file_info",
"file_path": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\notepad.exe"
}
Directory Operations
[
{ "action": "create_directory", "dir_path": "C:\\temp\\new_folder" },
{ "action": "delete_file", "file_path": "C:\\temp\\file.txt" },
{ "action": "delete_directory", "dir_path": "C:\\temp\\folder" },
{ "action": "copy_file", "src": "C:\\source\\file.txt", "dst": "C:\\dest\\file.txt" },
{ "action": "move_file", "src": "C:\\source\\file.txt", "dst": "C:\\dest\\file.txt" }
]
Process Operations
List Processes
{
"action": "list_processes",
"filter_name": "svchost"
}
Returns:
- PID, name, CPU%, memory%, status
Get Process Info
{
"action": "get_process_info",
"pid": 1234
}
Kill Process
{
"action": "kill_process",
"pid": 1234
}
Common Process Enumeration (Security)
| Task | Command | Use Case |
|---|
| Find suspicious processes | tasklist /v (Win) / ps aux (Lin) | Malware detection |
| Process with network | netstat -ano + tasklist | Find process using port |
| Hidden processes | wmic process (Win) | Rootkit detection |
| Service processes | sc query (Win) / systemctl list (Lin) | Persistence check |
System Information
Get CPU Info
{
"action": "get_cpu_info"
}
Get Memory Info
{
"action": "get_memory_info"
}
Get Disk Info
{
"action": "get_disk_info"
}
Get Network Info
{
"action": "get_network_info"
}
Security Assessment Use Cases
1. System Reconnaissance
[
{ "action": "get_system_info" },
{ "action": "list_files", "path": "C:\\Users", "recursive": true },
{ "action": "list_processes" }
]
2. Malware Analysis
[
{ "action": "get_process_info", "pid": 1234 },
{ "action": "list_processes", "filter_name": "svchost" },
{ "action": "list_files", "path": "C:\\Windows\\System32", "recursive": false }
]
3. Privilege Escalation Check
[
{ "action": "execute_command", "command": "whoami /all" },
{ "action": "execute_command", "command": "id" },
{ "action": "execute_command", "command": "net user admin" }
]
4. Persistence Detection
[
{
"action": "list_files",
"path": "C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup"
},
{
"action": "execute_command",
"command": "reg query HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run"
},
{
"action": "execute_command",
"command": "cat /etc/crontab"
}
]
5. Credential Hunting
[
{ "action": "execute_command", "command": "reg save HKLM\\SAM C:\\temp\\sam" },
{ "action": "execute_command", "command": "cat /etc/passwd" },
{ "action": "execute_command", "command": "cat /etc/shadow" },
{
"action": "list_files",
"path": "C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default\\Login Data"
}
]
Environment Variables
Get Environment Variable
{
"action": "get_env",
"key": "PATH"
}
Set Environment Variable
{
"action": "set_env",
"key": "MY_VAR",
"value": "test_value"
}
List All Variables
{
"action": "list_env"
}
Path Operations
Get Current Directory
{
"action": "get_current_directory"
}
Change Directory
{
"action": "change_directory",
"path": "C:\\temp"
}
Check Path Exists
{
"action": "path_exists",
"path": "C:\\Windows"
}
Output Format
All operations return:
{
"success": true,
"result": "<operation result>",
"error": "error message if failed"
}
Best Practices
-
Permissions
- Some operations require elevated privileges
- Check return values for permission errors
-
Performance
- Use
recursive: false for large directories
- Consider timeout for network operations
-
Security
- Be careful with file write operations
- Avoid overwriting critical system files
-
Logging
- All operations are logged for audit
- Sensitive operations may require confirmation
