🔧 Network Troubleshoot Toolkit
Educational Project for Learning Windows Batch Scripting and Network Administration
⚠️ Security Note: This is for educational purposes only. Always verify scripts before executing them, especially from untrusted sources.
What's New? ✨
We've added a Graphical User Interface (GUI) version of the toolkit! Now you can use buttons instead of typing commands!
What is this?
This is a legitimate educational project demonstrating:
- Windows PowerShell scripting with GUI (Windows Forms)
- PowerShell web requests and script delivery
- Network administration commands
- The
irm | iex pattern in a safe context
Features
1. Show IP Configuration - Display detailed network adapter information
2. Flush DNS Cache - Clear DNS resolver cache
3. Release IP Address - Release DHCP-assigned IP address
4. Renew IP Address - Request new IP address from DHCP server
5. Reset Winsock - Reset Windows Sockets catalog
6. Reset TCP/IP Stack - Reset TCP/IP stack to default settings
7. Ping Google - Test internet connectivity
8. Network Statistics - Show active network connections and ports
9. Open Network Connections - Launch network adapter settings
10. Open Wi-Fi Settings - Launch Wi-Fi configuration
11. Full Network Repair - Run all repair tools in sequence
12. Windows Optimization - Clear temporary files and optimize Windows

Security Best Practices
Always remember:
- Never run scripts from untrusted sources
- Always read and understand a script before executing it
- Only use HTTPS URLs for script delivery
- Consider code signing for production scripts
- Run scripts with least privilege necessary
