In this video, we're going to take a look at Metamucil.
Now, amid a goofball is a program designed to look for documents on websites, which is extremely handy.
We could also do well.
We could do use Google Docs and go look for files, file type, PDF, XLS, etc. etc..
However, this is a pretty cool command line driven program, so let's take a look at it.
So on my Trace Labs machine, I'm going to click on the start menu here and we can just simply type
in meta and we see two entries in here.
We see one with the blue M looks like kind of Google's colors and we see the terminal.
So I'm going to go ahead and click on the terminal one here.
Now clicking this, what I'll do is I'll open up the terminal for you.
And also it starts off with the medical field pi dash for the health file.
And I like starting with this because it gives us all the different information for the Metamucil program
here.
So we can see we use usage as metaphor goo field pi space dash H for help or you do d d for domain and
then you a delay.
Your URL, timeout, search max file limits, etc. etc. And we can see the other command line arguments
here.
Can see d.
D for domain d.
E for delay end for download file limit.
So maximum number of files will download in default is 100.
And if we want to change the default directory where it's going to save two file types we see it does
pdf docs xlsx, pepto dep ods doc xls, x, x and two search.
They have all sorts of other file extensions here.
So it looks like 17,576 three letter file extensions type all.
So let's go ahead and give this a try.
So I'm just going to.
Pace from my clipboard here.
I have a command here.
So medical field, Dashti for domain.
We're going to scan Microsoft.com and we're going to limit it to 20 type or looking for doc and PDFs
and dash and the limit is going to be five.
So let's give this tribal click enter and we can see it working here.
And depending on what your criteria is that you put in for, scanning is going to depend on how long
this is going to take.
So this shouldn't take too long.
I actually ran this earlier to kind of make sure that I had the commands right and.
Let's make sure they actually dock in PDF files on Microsoft site, which is a pretty safe bet.
So we'll give this a moment to finish up here and we'll check the results.
And as it starts finding things, you will start seeing the information here.
So downloading file, we could see the how, how large it is.
We could see what the URL is and we could see what the file is.
So telephone and see us final doc, university, final doc, etc., etc..
So this is really handy if we're scanning a website.
We may potentially find sensitive information, things like payroll information, usernames, passwords,
other confidential information.
Doing scans before I have found actually found stuff that probably wasn't supposed to be able to search
for.
However, this is all stuff that you can kind of scan and look for and it's not looking for keywords
so much as file type.
So we could see it's done.
We can see the various documents it downloaded and it tells us where the files are going to be so by
default and into the home directory.
So let's go ahead and browse in there and open folder here and we are in the Home Office and folder.
I'm just going to scroll down in here and we can see the different files that actually pull that.
We see PDF reports here, we see a doc file, a couple of doc files in here, So it's a really handy
program to use.
Again, you could do you could of course use Google Docs or this is another great alternative or something
to run in addition to Google AdWords to make sure that you're grabbing all the, all the various types
of documents from website.
Again, this has made a good feel.
It is preinstalled on Trace Labs Linux.
Thank you for watching.
I will see you in the next video.
