Module 8 File Management Module 8 File Management 1 Module Objectives Develop file management strategies Explore files and folders Create, name, copy, move, and delete folders Name, copy, move, and delete files Cyber Safety tips for managing files and folders Key to Symbols = Advanced Topic = Cyber Safety = Hints and Tips 2 What are files and folders? How do I manage them? Managing Files and Folders What are files? A file is a collection of information “data” that we give a name and store somewhere in the computer. Files can be stored in USB drives, Compact discs (CDs), Digital video discs (DVDs) and Hard disks. Files are organized and managed inside folders. So what are folders? Folders are objects “cabinet drawers” that can house many files inside them. Think of folders, like the rooms you have in your house, every room is dedicated for a very specific purpose. 3 One of the main programs to manage and show files in windows is Windows Explorer. There are many ways to start Windows Explorer. Press start, accessories and then Windows Explorer. 4 Exploring Files and Folders Viewing folder content in Windows Explorer. The name of the selected folder Click to expand Contents of the selected folder 5 File Names and Extensions Files will have a name and an extension. The file name describes what the file is about. A file extension (usually 3 or 4 letters after the . ) tells ouy what kind of file it is (or what program uses it. This file (.jpg) is a picture This file (.docx) works Common File Extensions with Microsoft Word Documents .doc or .docx (Microsoft Word files) .txt (plain text (Notepad) documents) Pictures .jpg or .jpeg .gif .bmp .png Music .mp3 (works with most music playing devices, such as iPods or MP3 players) Movies and Videos .avi .wmv .mp4 Program Files .exe (An “executable” file. Clicking on it will start a program) 6 I need a folder to save I need a folder for our my financial files family photos Where should I save I want a folder to save my schoolwork? my music! Creating a Folder In the left pane, click the drive or folder where you want to create a folder then click New Folder (or right-click a blank area in the folder window, point to New, and then click Folder) Type a name for the folder, and then press the Enter key 7 The folder is ready to be named Moving Files and Folders Right click on the folder or the file and select cut. Moving a file or folder removes it from its current location and places it in a new location you specify or choose. 8 Coping Files and Folders Right click on the folder or the file and select copy. Copying a file or a folder places it in both locations. 9 Naming and Renaming Files and Folders Filenames provide and help us in knowing the important information about the file, including its contents and purpose. A filename extension identifies fileype t and indicates program in which file was created. The Recycle Bin The file extension tells you what The file (or folder) name should type of program uses the file. tell you what it is about. .docx means this file is a Microsoft Word document. 10 Naming and Renaming Files and Folders Deleting Files and Folders Filenames provide and help us in knowing the important information about the file, including its contents and purpose. A filename extension identifies fileype t and Recycle Bin is a space taken from your hard disk that holds deleted files until you indicates program in which file was created. remove them permanently. Recycle Bin The Recycle Bin The file extension tells you what type of program uses the file. .docx means this file is a Microsoft Word document. 11 Guidelines for Managing Files and Folders Use descriptive and meaningful names Do not delete or change file extensions Group similar files and consider using the default folders Do not mix data files and program files Data files are the files where you save your work Program files are the software used to edit your data files (usually named with a .exe extension) Do not store programs or data files in the root directory (C:\) of hard drive Your files should be saved in folders you create under the “My Documents” folder. This makes them easier to find. Programs should be saved and installed under the “Programs” folder. This makes it easier to keep them organized, and helps make sure they will work properly. Cyber Safety Tips for Managing Files and Folders Do not save important or private files on someone else’s computer, disc, or USB Flash drive. Use User Accounts and Passwords on your computer to prevent people from seeing your private files. Always use your Virus Scanning software to scan files or folders for viruses before downloading them from the Internet or email, or copying them onto your computer. 12 Copying, moving and deleting folders - Examples Exercise 1: Using Notepad to Create a File 1. Launch the Notepad application. Start, accessories and then Notepad. 2. Start Typing “it is a nice day”. 13 3. From the Menu bar, click on “File” and then “Save as”, In the Save in box, click the small arrow & choose My Documents, in the file name box, erase the suggested file name and type your name. Click the Save button. 4. Close MS Notepad. 5. Create three more files with the following names file2, file3, file4 andve sa them in the same location “My Documents”. 14 6. Double click on My Documents folder, then Right click and Select “New” from the menu and then “Folder”. 7.

  • Luno Tools Run Command Documentation Page 1/6
    Luno Tools Run Command documentation Page 1/6 Luno Tools Run Command Description Run Command aims to be a user-friendly way to run command line applications, command line system calls and single line shell scripts. Setup 1. Build a working command outside Switch It is important to start with a command which achieves your task and which needs to work outside Switch. On Mac, this means you build and test the command in the Terminal App. On Windows, you build the command in “Command Prompt” (Cmd.exe) or “Windows Powershell”. By example, we can build a command which retrieves the permissions of one file and stores it in another file. On mac we can achieve this using the following command: ls -l /path/to/inputfile.txt > /path/to/outputfolder/filename.txt And on Windows Command Prompt using this command : icacls -l C:\path\to\inputfile.txt > C:\path\to\outputfolder\filename.txt If you have issues with your command at this stage (you don’t achieve the output you want, you have errors, …), then the issue is not related to the “Run Command” app itself. The people with the most knowledge about your issue are the people who are expert at the command line application, command line system call or shell script you are trying to use. Usually, there are help pages, support forums, support people specific for these applications who can help you. Alternatively, you can also ask help on the Enfocus forums. 2. Handle spaces correctly When working with these kinds of commands a space is used to separate different parts of the command, by example a space is placed between the command name and the path to the inputfile.

  • A Hunting Story: What’S Hiding in Powershell Scripts and Pastebin Code? Saudi Actors
    RECORDED FUTURE THREAT INTELLIGENCE REPORT A Hunting Story: What’s Hiding in PowerShell Scripts and Pastebin Code? Saudi Actors By Levi Gundert Vice President of Intelligence and Strategy Summary › U.S. law enforcement recently released a flash bulletin about nation-state adversaries attacking public/private entities using specific TTPs (spearphishing, PowerShell scripts, base64 encoding, etc.). › A hunt for similar TTPs in Recorded Future produces a wealth of recent intelligence, specifically around PowerShell use and base64 string encoding found in PowerShell scripts and code hosted on Pastebin. › Pastebin is routinely used to stage code containing encoded strings that convert to malware, and mainstream business resources like Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Office 365 are equally likely future destinations for staging malicious strings used in targeted attacks › The Arabic speaking actor operating the njRAT instance connecting to osaam2014.no-ip[.]biz may be the same actor operating the njRAT instance that previously connected to htomshi.zapto[.]org. Recorded Future proprietary intelligence indicates with a high degree of confidence that both actors are located in Saudi Arabia. › Hunting in Farsight Security’s passive DNS data produces useful DNS TXT record examples, specifically base64 encoded text records, which may be used in PowerShell Empire scripts. › Enterprise employees fetch favicon.ico files (web browser address bar tab icons) from mainstream websites thousands to millions of times daily making detection of rogue .ico files particularly tricky. › Since 2014 there have been over 550 PowerShell command references in code repositories, over 2,800 references in paste sites, and over 3,000 social media references collected and analyzed by Recorded Future.

  • File Extension Renaming and Signaturing
    File Extension Renaming and Signaturing By Ryan Ware Digital Forensics September 19, 2006 Introduction Today, several of the major operating systems use file extensions to some degree or another. File extensions aid the operating system with determining the appropriate program and method needed to open a file in a proper manner. Many cases in digital forensics involve the modification of file extensions on one or more files in digital media. These modified files make the analysis process difficult at times. Without the proper identification of the types of files, important evidence may be excluded from an investigation. Thus, the modification of file extensions must be identified and corrected during a digital forensics investigation. Background File extensions: To distinguish the format of a file, several operating systems use file extensions. The two major operating systems are Windows and Mac OS X. File extensions are a series of alphanumeric characters appended to the end of a file name [4]. Windows uses these file extensions to determine the best program to open the files and a list of other recommended programs to open the files. Under Windows, file extension names include: .exe and .com for executables, .jpg and .gif for images, .mp3 and .wav for audio files, and .txt and .doc for text files. Without the proper file extension, Windows may attempt to open the file with a program that is incapable of opening the file which could cause an error or produce unintelligible output. File headers: Unix first used file headers or magic numbers to determine the format of a file similar to file extensions.
