Hey all,

I had a quick question - could someone recommend a stand alone windows executable that can be uploaded to a box and utilized via command line to search for particular files? What I'm looking for is a windows equivalent to the locate command. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advanced!

So you're looking for something more detailed than simply using:

dir /s filename > files.txt

?

You know what - I actually think that will work. I was looking for a quick way to see all txt files on a box. I think dir /s *.*txt > files.txt will do. Thanks!

No worries... sometimes, it's the easiest things that slip our minds, huh?  <grin>

If I think of anything easier / more formal, I'll post, but the nice thing with this is, no code to download, no extra time, no extra risk of detection, etc...

Cheers, Kris!

GnuWin32 gives you gnu tools in windows without emulation. there is always cygwin, I install it on every computer I build, including servers. I use it mostly for grep Smiley

For command line reference and knowledge in a range of OS, I would suggest looking at http://blog.commandlinekungfu.com

Always helpful in a situation, where you are not quite aware of the inbuilt OS offerings available Smiley

Hope it helps

@chrisj - I think (maybe I'm wrong, but) he wanted something he could use for a pentest, where he's already accessed a remote target.  To me, I wouldn't want to install or add anything extra to a machine, if I don't 'need' to, when I can just use the built-in commands within the OS, and push from my scripts, etc.

As for my own machines, I agree with you, though, on the usefulness of GnuWin32 and cygwin...  I run both, on my production machines and my lab boxes.

@hayabusa - I wasn't thinking along the lines of a pen-test. I've been dealing with the mundane world lately thinking servers and networking, without the pen-test part.

Could always run the command (cygwin / wingnu32) from his box on the other box (he's already showing network traffic to it by connecting to it).

Over the long weekend, I have to start a script that will look at dive usage against my windows based filer.  basically for x in ls -l do du -csh \\server\dir.

Just an idea.

@n1p - Thanks. Didn't know ED makes post on that blog, I'll bookmark it.

@hayabusa - Thanks again. Was just looking for it for a pentest.

@chrisj - I'll have to look into that, thanks for the link.

I've had quite a good experience at work with UnxUtils
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/

Just in case Cygwin and winGNU32 don't carry your fancy anymore Wink
