- Examples for Bad File Finder
-
-
- Example 1 : Scanning your C-drive for hacks
-
- Command-line : BFF s c
-
- Scanning your C-Drive for hacks. The first parameter (s) means
- that output is sent to screen. The second parameter determines
- the drive. It's also possible to enter a path, a wildcard or a
- filename on the second parameter...
-
- Command-line : BFF s c:\userul or BFF s c:\userul\*.*
- BFF s c (for whole drive)
-
- Do NOT finish the command-line with a backslash.
-
-
- Example 2 : Output to screen or to disk
-
- Command-line : BFF s c OR BFF d c
-
- For the second parameter see example 1.
-
- Before scanning for hacks you can select the output. If you
- want it to screen then enter "s". When you want the output
- sent to disk, just enter "d" on the first parameter. After BFF
- starts up, it will show the filename BFF is sending the output
- to.
-
-
- Example 3 : Filter-option
-
- Command-line : BFF s c f
-
- The first and the second option is explained above.
-
- From the third parameter on you can select several options.
- One of them is the filteroption. Every hack that has been
- found will be displayed, and BFF asks you whether the hacks
- should be filtered or not. When confirming the question the
- name of the file will be appended to the file "FILTER.BFF".
- The next time you start up BFF this hack will not be shown
- anymore, unless you add the C-option. Every possible hack will
- be shown then.
-
- The command-line for the C-option could be :
-
- Command-line : BFF s c c
-
-
- Example 4 : Checking for Ansi-bombs
-
- Command-line : BFF s c i or BFF a c:\dos i
-
- Several possiblities here....
-
- When adding the "I" to the command BFF will check text-files
- and ansi-files for so called ANSI-Bombs. This can be done to
- the commands BFF s, BFF d or BFF a. When an ansi-string has
- been found that could change one of your keys, BFF will report
- this.
-
- Example 5 : Archive-option/command
-
- Command lines : BFF A <wildcard> <options>
- BFF <S or D> <filespec> A <options>
-
-
- NOTE : It's not possible to select a drive character when
- entering BFF A on the command-line.
-
- It's possible to call for the archive-option in BFF A (without
- the option A) and in BFF S or D (with the option A).
-
- The name of every file found with one of the extensions ARJ,
- ZIP and LZH will be sent to a file. After checking for hacks
- (if chosen) all these archives will be checked for integrity
- and viruses. For this the file 'PATHS.BFF' must be configured
- correctly !
-
- Several options for the archive-commands are possible. You can
- add them on the command-line :
-
- When adding M to the command-line, BFF will first scan your
- memory and your boot-sector first before unpacking the archi-
- ves.
-
- When adding L to the command-line, BFF will automatically let
- the virusscanner create a log. When problems have been detec-
- ted (exitcode of virusscanner is unequal to zero), BFF will
- append the logfile of the virusscanner to the BFF-log named
- 'ARCHLOG.BFF'. When no problems have been detected, BFF will
- delete the logfiles...
-
- When adding B to the command-line, BFF will strip the archive-
- bit of every archive found, that has to be scanned. When using
- the B-option continueously, BFF will skip the files that were
- scanned before. This option can be convenient when you want to
- check every new archive on your system but take care ! Also
- read BFF.DOC
-
- Example 6 : Using BFF with B-, R- and S- option
-
- When you intend to use this option, read the doc-file and the
- lines below carefully !
-
- Assume the following :
-
- You're having one or more HD's in your computer and you're
- having a lot of archived files on it with the extension .ZIP,
- .ARJ and .LZH. Normally spoken it takes a lot of time to scan
- these files again and again and again.....
-
- You can do several things here. Here some examples.
-
-
- 1. You do NOT want to scan these files for viruses and only
- new files that arrive on your system must be checked.
-
- 2. You're having a very large HD. You do not want to scan
- these files for viruses NOW. Only some directory's each time
- BFF runs must be scanned. Further all new files must be scan-
- ned.
-
- 3. You want to scan these files once and further only new
- files that arrive on your system must be checked.
-
- 4. As 2, but only you want them to rescan them at a time that
- it suits you.
-
- 5. I haven't got a large drive. What to do ?
-
- The command-lines :
-
- Ad 1.
-
- You don't want to scan these files :
-
- Command-line : BFF S <drive> R
-
- Now the archive-bit of all archived files are removed.
-
- Command-line : BFF S <filespec/drive> A B
-
- More options are allowed of course but you need the B-option.
- Only newer files will be checked and the archive-bit will also
- be removed by BFF with this option.
-
- Ad 2.
-
- You don't want to scan these files :
-
- Command-line : BFF S <drive> R
-
- To scan new files use :
-
- Command-line : BFF S <filespec/drive> A B
-
- Create an ascii-file called 'FILES.BFF' and enter file-speci-
- fications and run ...
-
- Command-line : BFF I <options>
-
- ... for checking the files found according to the file-speci-
- fications.
-
- Ad 3.
-
- To scan these files once run BFF with :
-
- Command-line : BFF <S or D> <drive> A B
-
- All archive-bits are removed by the B-option. These files will
- not be scanned again. Only new files will....
-
-
- Ad 4.
-
- First do the same as ad 1 above.
-
- Then create an ascii-file called 'FILES.BFF' and enter file-
- specifications and run ...
-
- Command-line : BFF I <options>
-
- ... for checking the files found according to the file-speci-
- fications.
-
-
- Ad 5.
-
- Do not use the S- and R- option. Use the B-option.

-
- When the lines above are not totally clear to you, maybe a
- little experimenting with a floppy will clear some things up.
