In DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, batch file is the name given to a type of script file, a text file containing a series of commands to be executed by the command interpreter. Batch file are mainly used to do repeat tasks. Instead of typing in a commands over and over again to do a certain task, you can create a batch file that does it all automatically by performing a bulk set of commands.So why should hackers know batch programming?
