Code in text: Indicates code words in the text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "There's a new object created with GUID {E97EFF8F-1C38-433C-9715-4F53424B4887}. What's more, a somewhat suspicious file, 586A97.exe, is residing in the C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\scripts folder."

A block of code is set as follows:

<NTService clsid="{AB6F0B67-341F-4e51-92F9-005FBFBA1A43}" name="SQLPBENGINE" image="4" changed="2022-01-16 14:15:49" uid="{94D8973D-A08E-4F28-B7D7-3745321C40A4}" disabled="0">

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<Properties startupType="DISABLED" serviceName="SQLPBENGINE" serviceAction="STOP" timeout="30"/></NTService>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

vssadmin delete shadows /all /quiet & wmic shadowcopy delete & bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures & bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled no & wbadmin delete catalog -quiet

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "Usually, you'll look for events with the IDs 21 (Session logon succeeded) and 25 (Session reconnection succeeded)."
