SauronEye : Search Tool To Find Specific Files Containing Specific Words

SauronEye is a search tool built to aid red teams in finding files containing specific keywords.

Features

  • Search multiple (network) drives
  • Search contents of files
  • Search contents of Microsoft Office files (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx)
  • Find VBA macros in old 2003 .xls and .doc files
  • Search multiple drives multi-threaded for increased performance
  • Supports regular expressions in search keywords
  • Compatible with Cobalt Strike’s execute-assembly

It’s also quite fast, can do 50k files, totaling 1,3 TB on a network drive in under a minute (with realistic file filters). Searches a C:\ (on a cheap SATA SSD) in about 15 seconds.

C:>SauronEye.exe –help
=== SauronEye ===

Usage: SauronEye.exe [OPTIONS]+ argument

Options:

-f, –filetypes=VALUE Filetypes to search for/in
-k, –keywords=VALUE Keywords to search for

-m, –maxfilesize=VALUE Max file size to search contents in, in kilobytes

Notes: SauronEye does not search %WINDIR% and %APPDATA%. Use the --systemdirs flag to search the contents of Program Files*. SauronEye relies on functionality only available from .NET 4.7.2, and so requires >= .NET 4.7.2 to run.
