One of our readers, Bill, wrote in to let us know about a pretty dangerous batch script that was posted on a web site that he visited. The script is supposed to help users get rid of print jobs which are still in the spooler, but a couple of obvious errors were done. I am pasting the original, as it was on the web site below (of course, do not run this): I will be teaching next: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking - SANS Pen Test Hackfest Europe 2022 - Berlin |

Even if you get the right file, doing a checksum is useful - this is how I figured out I had some bad RAM - all the downloads were corrupt - even from good sources :)

I think your post would be clearer if the original backslashes were rendered, instead of yet more spaces

Indeed, however the editor keeps eating backslashes - will get Johannes to fix that.

The problem is that the checksum is usually on the same website that I'm downloading from which makes it useless. If the site is untrusted, it would tamper with the checksum as well. There should a trusted source for providing this checksum
