00:01.570 --> 00:04.480
In this video, we're going to take a look at Metamucil.

00:04.630 --> 00:12.100
Now, amid a goofball is a program designed to look for documents on websites, which is extremely handy.

00:12.430 --> 00:14.320
We could also do well.

00:14.320 --> 00:22.390
We could do use Google Docs and go look for files, file type, PDF, XLS, etc. etc..

00:23.470 --> 00:29.230
However, this is a pretty cool command line driven program, so let's take a look at it.

00:29.590 --> 00:34.390
So on my Trace Labs machine, I'm going to click on the start menu here and we can just simply type

00:34.390 --> 00:37.930
in meta and we see two entries in here.

00:37.930 --> 00:42.310
We see one with the blue M looks like kind of Google's colors and we see the terminal.

00:42.760 --> 00:45.010
So I'm going to go ahead and click on the terminal one here.

00:46.210 --> 00:49.120
Now clicking this, what I'll do is I'll open up the terminal for you.

00:49.870 --> 00:55.720
And also it starts off with the medical field pi dash for the health file.

00:56.320 --> 01:01.000
And I like starting with this because it gives us all the different information for the Metamucil program

01:01.000 --> 01:01.390
here.

01:01.390 --> 01:11.920
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

01:11.920 --> 01:13.210
then you a delay.

01:14.150 --> 01:20.120
Your URL, timeout, search max file limits, etc. etc. And we can see the other command line arguments

01:20.120 --> 01:20.720
here.

01:20.840 --> 01:21.460
Can see d.

01:21.760 --> 01:23.030
D for domain d.

01:23.030 --> 01:27.140
E for delay end for download file limit.

01:27.140 --> 01:31.100
So maximum number of files will download in default is 100.

01:31.890 --> 01:37.710
And if we want to change the default directory where it's going to save two file types we see it does

01:38.130 --> 01:48.810
pdf docs xlsx, pepto dep ods doc xls, x, x and two search.

01:48.990 --> 01:51.930
They have all sorts of other file extensions here.

01:52.260 --> 01:57.990
So it looks like 17,576 three letter file extensions type all.

01:58.740 --> 02:01.490
So let's go ahead and give this a try.

02:01.500 --> 02:02.700
So I'm just going to.

02:03.970 --> 02:05.560
Pace from my clipboard here.

02:05.890 --> 02:06.730
I have a command here.

02:06.730 --> 02:08.910
So medical field, Dashti for domain.

02:08.920 --> 02:16.390
We're going to scan Microsoft.com and we're going to limit it to 20 type or looking for doc and PDFs

02:16.600 --> 02:19.360
and dash and the limit is going to be five.

02:19.360 --> 02:24.310
So let's give this tribal click enter and we can see it working here.

02:26.680 --> 02:31.750
And depending on what your criteria is that you put in for, scanning is going to depend on how long

02:31.750 --> 02:32.920
this is going to take.

02:33.190 --> 02:35.110
So this shouldn't take too long.

02:35.140 --> 02:40.120
I actually ran this earlier to kind of make sure that I had the commands right and.

02:41.230 --> 02:47.800
Let's make sure they actually dock in PDF files on Microsoft site, which is a pretty safe bet.

02:48.560 --> 02:53.180
So we'll give this a moment to finish up here and we'll check the results.

02:53.690 --> 02:58.310
And as it starts finding things, you will start seeing the information here.

02:58.310 --> 03:00.950
So downloading file, we could see the how, how large it is.

03:00.950 --> 03:04.310
We could see what the URL is and we could see what the file is.

03:04.790 --> 03:10.370
So telephone and see us final doc, university, final doc, etc., etc..

03:10.370 --> 03:13.580
So this is really handy if we're scanning a website.

03:14.350 --> 03:20.410
We may potentially find sensitive information, things like payroll information, usernames, passwords,

03:20.950 --> 03:22.810
other confidential information.

03:24.010 --> 03:32.230
Doing scans before I have found actually found stuff that probably wasn't supposed to be able to search

03:32.230 --> 03:32.740
for.

03:32.770 --> 03:39.550
However, this is all stuff that you can kind of scan and look for and it's not looking for keywords

03:39.550 --> 03:41.140
so much as file type.

03:41.150 --> 03:44.500
So we could see it's done.

03:44.500 --> 03:49.510
We can see the various documents it downloaded and it tells us where the files are going to be so by

03:49.510 --> 03:52.420
default and into the home directory.

03:52.420 --> 03:58.420
So let's go ahead and browse in there and open folder here and we are in the Home Office and folder.

03:58.420 --> 04:02.410
I'm just going to scroll down in here and we can see the different files that actually pull that.

04:02.410 --> 04:10.630
We see PDF reports here, we see a doc file, a couple of doc files in here, So it's a really handy

04:10.630 --> 04:11.500
program to use.

04:11.500 --> 04:17.710
Again, you could do you could of course use Google Docs or this is another great alternative or something

04:17.710 --> 04:22.330
to run in addition to Google AdWords to make sure that you're grabbing all the, all the various types

04:22.330 --> 04:24.220
of documents from website.

04:24.820 --> 04:26.020
Again, this has made a good feel.

04:26.020 --> 04:28.300
It is preinstalled on Trace Labs Linux.

04:28.300 --> 04:29.350
Thank you for watching.

04:29.350 --> 04:30.880
I will see you in the next video.
