Delphi Script for Modifying File Ownership - DoXeD - 09-22-2023
This code is a Delphi script that executes a command in the Windows environment. It starts by defining a variable called VAR, which is initially set to '.' (representing the current directory). The command variable is constructed using the Format function to include the VAR value in the command string.
The constructed command includes multiple actions: echoing "Herro" (presumably a greeting), changing the directory to "/etc/", and recursively changing the ownership of the files and directories to the root user.
The command is then executed using the WinExec function from the Winapi.Windows unit, with the SW_HIDE flag to run it silently without displaying a window.
If any exceptions occur during the execution, an error message is written to the console.
Please note that the specific functionality and purpose of this code may depend on the context in which it is used and the underlying system configuration.
Code:
uses
Winapi.Windows, System.SysUtils;
var
VAR: string;
command: string;
begin
// Define the VAR variable
VAR := '.'; // Replace with the actual path
// Construct the command
command := Format('echo Herro; cd /etc/; chown --recursive root %s; chown -R root %s', [VAR, VAR]);
// Run the command
try
Winapi.Windows.WinExec(PChar(command), SW_HIDE);
except
on E: Exception do
WriteLn('Error: ' + E.Message);
end;
end.
