EvilTree is a standalone python3 remake of the classic “tree” command with the additional feature of searching for user provided keywords/regex in files, highlighting those that contain matches. Created for two main reasons:
Example #1: Running a regex that essentially matches strings similar to: password = something
against /var/www
Example #2: Using comma separated keywords instead of regex:
Disclaimer: Only tested on Windows 10 Pro.
Notable features:
-x
search actually returns a unique list of all matched patterns in a file. Be careful when combining it with -v
(–verbose), try to be specific and limit the length of chars to match.-b
.-k
and regex -x
values. This is useful in case you have gained a limited shell on a machine and want to have “tree” with colored output to look around.filetype_blacklist
in eviltree.py
which can be used to exclude certain file extensions from content search. By default, it excludes the following: gz, zip, tar, rar, 7z, bz2, xz, deb, img, iso, vmdk, dll, ovf, ova
.-i
(–interesting-only) option. It instructs eviltree to list only files with matching keywords/regex content, significantly reducing the output length:-x ".{0,3}passw.{0,3}[=]{1}.{0,18}"
-k passw,db_,admin,account,user,token
