Appendix A: Shell Script for Generating Files for File Hash Database
Usage
# ./fssf.sh numberOfFiles typeOfFile
where numberOfFiles means the total number of files to generate and typeOfFile is the type of files to generate, either “0” for good or “1” for bad.
It generates a list of either good or bad files for the experimental practice in this chapter. You must specify how many files you want to generate and what type of files you want, including good files for Ignored database and bad files for Alert database. The shell script can be found in the end.
For example,
-
./fssf.sh 100 0
It means the total 100 good files will be generated and saved into a subfolder named good (bad if specifying 1 as the type of file) of the current working folder.
