A filesystem scanner that will search for files with suspicious content or file paths.

hackscanner /root/directory/to/scan/

The scanner will go through each file in the given root directory (or the current working directory if none is given). Each file will be checked against all the defined rules. The severity values of all matching rules will be summed up to build a rating for the checked file.

Finally the results will be sorted by rating and be printed to the screen.

The scanner has a set of builtin rules, but can easily be extended with custom rules. Custom rules can be defined in a configuration file which is applied with the -c, --configuration <configuration> option.

hackscanner /root/directory/to/scan/ -c /configuration.yaml
# or
hackscanner /root/directory/to/scan/ -c /configuration.json

The configuration file can be a JSON or YAML file.

    },
