How to get 'terminal' on windows?

Q. My question is quite widespread, there are some commands that are terminal commands and only work with apple products, and some that only work in command prompt. There are a couple of commands that I would like to try on windows cmd that only work on terminal.
Is there a terminal download for windows or can you update the cmd commands to do what terminal can do? Thanks, if you need extra information just ask :)

A. get cygwin. It is a free unix emulator for windows. Basically you will have all the shells you can use in unix/linux(which is basically what the osx terminal shell is).


I am not an apple expert, but I think it uses the shell called csh or maybe tsh.....i have no idea, google what shell it uses and download that in cygwin.

How do hackers hack another computer?
Q. I know that hackers use Linux and the terminal in Linux, but what commands to they use and what are the steps to it. I do know that you have to find open ports and then exploit them to gain access to a computer but how do they do that. Do they use the msfconsole and if so what else can be used to do it? Also what is the best programming language to start learning to do stuff with?

A. Using Linux helps if you want to hack a Linux or Unix server, if only because you can practice on your own machine. But it's not in the least a requirement - you can hack anything with anything, more-or-less.

There are dozens of ways of hacking things. Sure, you can find open ports and fingerprint services and try an exploit that works against some unpatched service. You can also email someone a trojan and get them to install it so that will let you in. Or you go into a webserver an attack a web application or SQL system, or plant code to exploit a browser.

If you want to attack applications or services, C or assembly language is probably good.
Scripting languages like Python, Ruby, Perl etc. are useful. See metasploit.

Needless to say, while hacking itself is not illegal (well, there are some DMCA provisions against hacking DRM), getting unauthorized access to a computer is (i.e. someone else's computer)

What is the linux command to obtain the PID number of a specific program running?
Q. I'm tired to use the "top" and search around for the PID of a program that I know is running on a remote terminal, left open by someone else, and that I want to kill. I wonder if there is a linux command that would return the PID of only that program.

A. ps aux | grep processname
or
pidof processname
