Later I found out a way easier method to get that helptext is to run MSTSC.exe /?, which shows a nice dialog:
[Window Title]
Remote Desktop Connection Usage
[Content]
MSTSC [] [/v:<server[:port]>] [/g:] [/admin] [/f[ullscreen]] [/w: /h:] [/public] | [/span] [/multimon] [/edit "connection file"] [/restrictedAdmin] [/remoteGuard] [/prompt] [/shadow: [/control] [/noConsentPrompt]]
"connection file" -- Specifies the name of an .RDP file for the connection.
/v:<server[:port]> -- Specifies the remote PC to which you want to connect.
/g: -- Specifies the RD Gateway server to use for the connection. This parameter is only read if the endpoint remote PC is specified with /v.
/admin -- Connects you to the session for administering a remote PC.
/f -- Starts Remote Desktop in full-screen mode.
/w: -- Specifies the width of the Remote Desktop window.
/h: -- Specifies the height of the Remote Desktop window.
/public -- Runs Remote Desktop in public mode.
/span -- Matches the remote desktop width and height with the local virtual desktop, spanning across multiple monitors, if necessary. To span across monitors, the monitors must be arranged to form a rectangle.
/multimon -- Configures the Remote Desktop Services session monitor layout to be identical to the current client-side configuration.
/edit -- Opens the specified .RDP connection file for editing.
/restrictedAdmin -- Connects you to the remote PC in Restricted Administration mode. In this mode, credentials won't be sent to the remote PC, which can protect you if you connect to a PC that has been compromised. However, connections made from the remote PC might not be authenticated by other PCs, which might impact application functionality and compatibility. This parameter implies /admin.
/remoteGuard -- Connects your device to a remote device using Remote Guard. Remote Guard prevents credentials from being sent to the remote PC, which can help protect your credentials if you connect to a remote PC that has been compromised. Unlike Restricted Administration mode, Remote Guard also supports connections made from the remote PC by redirecting all requests back to your device.
/prompt -- Prompts you for your credentials when you connect to the remote PC.
/shadow: -- Specifies the ID of the session to shadow.
/control -- Allows control of the session when shadowing.
/noConsentPrompt -- Allows shadowing without user consent.
[OK]
It still seems that WMIC is the quickest way to get CPU information on the console:
T510-PSO C:\bin\rdp> wmic cpu get name,CurrentClockSpeed,MaxClockSpeed
CurrentClockSpeed MaxClockSpeed Name
2667 2667 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 560 @ 2.67GHz
T510-PSO C:\bin\rdp> wmic path win32_Processor get Name,NumberOfCores,NumberOfLogicalProcessors
Name NumberOfCores NumberOfLogicalProcessors
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 560 @ 2.67GHz 2 4
Actually, wmic cpu is shorthand for wmic path win32_Processor, so this works fine:
T510-PSO C:\bin\rdp> wmic cpu get name,CurrentClockSpeed,MaxClockSpeed,NumberOfCores,NumberOfLogicalProcessors
CurrentClockSpeed MaxClockSpeed Name NumberOfCores NumberOfLogicalProcessors
2667 2667 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 560 @ 2.67GHz 2 4
The reason is that cpu is an alias:
T510-PSO C:\bin\rdp> wmic alias cpu list brief
FriendlyName PWhere Target
CPU Where DeviceID='#' Select * from WIN32_PROCESSOR
Dealing with a very lightweight embedded version of busybox on Linux means many of the traditional commands are not available (bc, printf, dc, perl, python)
# note the ";exit" lists the first default route interface, as there can be multiple
function nmap-fingerprint_network_of_default_interface() {
default_if=$(ip route list | awk '/^default/ {print $5;exit}')
default_if_cidr=$(ip -o -f inet addr show $default_if | awk '{print $4}')
nmap -sP $default_if_cidr
}
Nmap supports CIDR-style addressing. You can append /<numbits> to an IP address or hostname and Nmap will scan every IP address for which the first <numbits> are the same as for the reference IP or hostname given.
For example, 192.168.10.0/24 would scan the 256 hosts between 192.168.10.0 (binary: 11000000 10101000 00001010 00000000) and 192.168.10.255 (binary: 11000000 10101000 00001010 11111111), inclusive. 192.168.10.40/24 would scan exactly the same targets.
The reason is that [Wayback] fritzcap (written in Python) sometimes crashes while doing the conversion of a phone recording, so then only the .pcap file is available. I still want to figure this out, but given my health situation, I might not be able to in time.
The best open-source and free email forwarding service for custom domains. We do not keep logs nor store emails. We don’t track you. Unlimited aliases, catch-alls, wildcards, API access, and disposable addresses. Built-in support for DKIM, SRS, SPF, ARC, DMARC, and more. No credit card required.
We default to a 50MB size limit, which includes content, headers, and attachments. Note that services such as Gmail and Outlook allow only 25MB size limit, and if you exceed the limit when sending to addresses at those providers you will receive an error message.
An error with the proper response code is returned if the file size limit is exceeded.
…
What is the difference between Free and Enhanced Protection
The Free plan requires you to use public DNS records to store your forwarding configuration. Anyone with a computer can lookup your forwarding configuration in a terminal if you are on the Free plan. Unlike the Free plan, the Enhanced Protection plan uses a cryptographically generated random string to store your forwarding configuration privately.
We have a “zero tolerance policy” privacy policy, which states that we don’t store logs nor emails, and we don’t track users. Our statement clearly states that we do not collect nor store forwarded emails, metadata, server-side nor client-side logs, IP addresses, or browser information.
Only an email address is required to create and configure the Enhanced Protection Plan, which hides DNS email alias information on the free plan through a managed and hosted service.
User’s accounts, domains, and all related information can be permanently deleted at any time by the user.
Free email forwarding for domains with features including Custom Domain Email Forwarding, Disposable Addresses, Multiple Recipients, Wildcards, and more!

Ralf Hildebrandt is an active and well-known figure in the Postfix community. He’s a systems engineer for T-NetPro, a German telecommunications company and has spoken about Postfix at industry conferences and contributes regularly to a number of open source mailing lists.
Best practices for Postfix–the popular alternative to Sendmail. Developed with security and speed in mind, Postfix has become a popular alternative to Sendmail and comes preinstalled in many Linux distributions as the default mailer. The Book of Postfix is a complete guide to Postfix whether used at home, as a mailrelay or virus-scanning gateway, or as a company mailserver. Practical examples show how to deal with daily challenges like protecting mail users from spam and viruses, managing multiple domains, and offering roaming access.
Random user generator is a FREE API for generating placeholder user information. Get profile photos, names, and more. It’s like Lorem Ipsum, for people.
This was used when extracting Parler data to substantiate evidence around the 20210106 USA Capitol riots.
You can even use a simple HTTP GET like [Wayback] randomuser.me/api and get a JSON result like this.
