need correct syntax
find /home -name viewtopic.php -exec (xargs cat $i | grephtmlspecialchars\(urldecode) > sites_running_exploitable_phpBB.txt

I want to find all files named viewtopic.php, check to see if it has the exploitable code and if it does enter it into a txt file, what is the correct syntax?

see if it has the exploitable code and if it does enter it into a txt file
How you do that for ONE file ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

[linuxMaestro]

no, for many files

 

[PHV]

I know you want the syntax for many files.
I asked you how you do that for one file in order to show you how to do the same for many files.
Anyway, man find.

Can I suggest something like:

#!/bin/ksh
for filename in `find /home -name "viewtopic.php" -print`
do
   echo ${filename} >> sites_running_exploitable_phpBB.txt
   grep "htmlchars" ${filename} >> sites_running_exploitable_phpBB.txt
done

Perhaps a bit simplistic in that the output file will contain a list of all files named "viewtopic.php" including their path, plus the lines of the files that contain the string "htmlchars".

I hope that helps (at least as a start point).

Mike

 

[motoslide]

Same exact idea as Mike042, except only those files containing the desired (or undesired?) string are listed:

str="htmlspecialchars"
find . -name "viewtopic.php" >flist
for i in `cat flist`
do
found=`grep "$str" $i`
if [ "$found" != "" ]
then
echo $i >>outfile
echo $found >>outfile
echo "================================" >>outfile
fi
done
rm flist
more outfile

find /home -name viewtopic.php | xargs grep 'SearchPattern' > sites_running_exploitable_phpBB.txt

Hope This Helps, PH.
