how the metadata files reterived from any given website

  Custom user lists
• So, lets take some word docs and pull out the user names and first and last names!
• What about Web?
wget -r -l1 --no-parent -A.doc http://www.somewebsite.com/ | exiftool -r -a -u -Author -
LastSavedBy * >users.txt |strings users.txt | cut -d":" -f2 | grep -v "\=" | grep -v "\image files read" |
tr '[:space:]' '\n' | sort | uniq >cleanusers.txt
• local disk?
exiftool -r -a -u -Author -LastSavedBy * >users.txt |strings users.txt | cut -d":" -f2 | grep -v "\=" |
grep -v "\image files read" | tr '[:space:]' '\n' | sort | uniq >cleanusers.txt
