7.) What are the dangers of a command prompt in admin mode!



Using the Command Prompt in administrator mode (also known as "elevated Command Prompt" or "Command Prompt as administrator") may be necessary in certain situations to perform administrative tasks on a Windows computer. However, there are some potential dangers and risks that should be considered when using Command Prompt in Admin Mode:


Unintentional system changes:
When you work in Administrator mode, you have elevated privileges and can make deep changes to the operating system. This means that you can unintentionally change or delete system files, configuration settings or other important items, which can lead to serious errors or problems.

Malware:
If a malicious actor gains access to the Command Prompt in administrator mode, they can execute malicious commands to compromise or damage the system. Therefore, admin mode should only be used by trusted users.

Data loss:
By using commands in Command Prompt in Admin Mode, you can delete or move files and folders without using the Recycle Bin. If you are not careful, you risk data loss.

Incorrect command entry:
An incorrectly entered command can cause the system to enter an unstable state or delete important files. It is important that you enter commands correctly and, when in doubt, do not use commands that you do not know exactly what they do.

Weak points:
If the Command Prompt in Admin Mode is not properly protected or user accounts with administrative privileges are configured insecurely, attackers can attempt to exploit security vulnerabilities to gain access to the system.

To minimize the dangers of using Command Prompt in Admin Mode, you should follow the following security best practices: Use Admin Mode only when absolutely necessary
and close it when the task is complete.


Make sure your user account is secured with administrative privileges, e.g. BB by using a strong password or other authentication method. Be extremely careful when entering commands and check them twice before performing critical actions. Keep your operating system and software up to date to minimize security vulnerabilities. Use antivirus and security software to protect your system from malicious commands and attacks. Admin Mode Command Prompt can be a powerful tool, but it requires responsibility and caution to minimize the risks involved.
