Getting ready

Besides having a terminal open (and your favorite text editor, if necessary), we only need a couple of core commands such as grep, ls, mkdir, touch, traceroute, strings, wget, xargs, and find.

Assuming that your user already has the correct permissions for your usage (and authorized, of course), we will need to generate data to begin searching:

$ ~/
$ wget --recursive --no-parent https://www.packtpub.com www.packtpub.com # Takes awhile
$ traceroute packtpub.com > traceroute.txt
$ mkdir -p www.packtpub.com/filedir www.packtpub.com/emptydir
$ touch www.packtpub.com/filedir/empty.txt
$ touch www.packtpub.com/findme.xml; echo "<xml>" www.packtpub.com/findme.xml
