Some syntax error while passing data to sed about peass-ng HOT 13 CLOSED

Hey @dmknght,
Could you execute

WF=`find /dev /srv /proc /home /media /sys /lost+found /run /etc /root /var /tmp /mnt /boot /opt -type d -maxdepth $MAXPATH_FIND_W -writable 2>/dev/null | sort`

Modify (but not delete as I need to see how many results you have) any confidential info and share the value of the variable $WF? I would need that value to replay the error

Well it is empty. So i guess you should make if-else to display "not found"

from peass-ng.

That line is looking for writable files in your disk, if it's empty that means you don't have writable permissions over any file.
is that true?

I have in $HOME. But you are using -type d which is directory. So as you said, you should use -type f for files.
p/s: OFC i'm having writeable files and folders in $HOME

Sorry mate, it is looking for writable directories not files, and thats good. The problem here is that you have too much writable directories that break grep. Therefore $WF shouldn't be empty.
Anyway, when I have time I will try to replicate an environment with thousands of writable directories and will find way to fix it in an efficient manner. In the meantime you can change in line 15 the code MAXPATH_FIND_W="7" for MAXPATH_FIND_W="3" as temporary fix.

ah shit i copied your whole command and $MAXPATH_FIND_W was empty value so it didn't work. So i tested with find /root /tmp -type d -maxdepth 3 -writable 2>/dev/null and it showed.

BTW the search for private key is extremely slow because of grep so many files. So do you have any idea to improve it or avoid it?

The maximum is 127 or 255 am i right?

Hi @dmknght,

I have uploaded a new linpeas version. In this version if should automatically check if that error is occurring an in that case find less writable directories until the error stop appearing.
Could you check if it's working on your environment?
