[Bash] filetype problem
 
Hello, I have a little problem, I'm running low interaction honeypot and it stores all files it receives from ftp - tfpt etc. as a <MD5 sum>.bin, like this:

Code:
slax hexdumps # ls -a1
./
../
11b209305d1a3f5390bd089e6e00f46f.bin
30c8dc4d7a898d070c05d1a9378d81d2.bin
9b72b6891831b7c04aedfd60e614112e.bin
f9dc4a724a268dc50f599d91414a25a8.bin
When I take a look at those files there is different kind of files like:

Text documents
Windows exe's
Unknown
etc.

Code:
Name_____________________________________|Size______|Filetype____________|
11b209305d1a3f5390bd089e6e00f46f.bin      137B      Unknown
30c8dc4d7a898d070c05d1a9378d81d2.bin      150B      Plain Text Document
9b72b6891831b7c04aedfd60e614112e.bin      1.9KB      Windows Executable
f9dc4a724a268dc50f599d91414a25a8.bin      1.0KB      Unknown
The question is, how can I choose in a script, for example, Windows Executables and copy those files to the other folder.

TIA

Hi,

Did you try to use the file command?

This command tries to determine the file type. I.e:
Code:
$ file infile
infile: ASCII text

$ file nzbperl
nzbperl: perl script text executable
Hope this helps.
