I just looked at my ClamAV virus scan results and I found that I had a Trojan horse/Back Orifice dll in my system! Apparently it could have been there for a long time allowing people to control my computer to send spam or other evil things. It was a part of the Filzip program, a freeware utility.I removed the program, but I had been using it for a while. It’s pretty scary since I consider myself to be pretty net savvy. I guess that teaches me to not download every bit of freeware I can find. I guess Winzip will have to handle my compression needs.

Here’s the entry in the ClamAV scan that showed me I had an intruder:
C:/Program Files/FilZip/unrar3.dll: Troj.BO-Server FOUND

Be careful if you have this program, you may want to uninstall it.

Hooray!

You’ve probably found yourself at a UNIX shell prompt and said to yourself, “Self, I need to search through all these directories and files to find the file that has a particular string. Is thing going to be hard? Damn, I wish I had a smart friend who had a blog who would help me out in these situations.” Well, your dreams have come true.

find . -type f -exec grep -i “particular string” {} \; -print

This command will recursively search the directories, starting from where you’re at (substitute the ‘.’ if you want a different directory). It will then execute a particular command (in this case a grep) and finally print out all files that meet the success condition of your exec command. The type parameter just says, “Look at the files only Mr. UNIX OS.”

Do you love me now? or are you wishing I posted something like this?
