Examples

Extracting Files From a Remote Webiste

Here I use wget to make a request to stackoverflow then I forward the body text to ds . The -F option will list all files found. --clean is used to remove any extra text that might have been returned (such as extra html). Then the result of is sent to uniq which removes any non unique files found.

 wget -qO - https://www.stackoverflow.com | ds -F --clean | uniq

Extracting Mac Addresses From an Output File

Here I am pulling all mac addresses found in autodeauth's log file using the -m query. The --hide option will hide the identifer string infront of the results. In this case 'mac_address: ' is hidden from the output. The -T option is used to check the same line multiple times for matches. Normallly when a match is found the tool moves on to the next line rather then checking again.

$ ./ds -m -T --hide -f /var/log/autodeauth/log     
2023-02-26 00:28:19 - Sending 500 deauth frames to network: BC:2E:48:E5:DE:FF -- PrivateNetwork
2023-02-26 00:35:22 - Sending 500 deauth frames to network: 90:58:51:1C:C9:E1 -- TestNet

Reading all files in a directory

The line below will will read all files in the current directory recursively. The -D option is used to display the filename (-f is required for the filename to display) and -e used to search for emails.

$ find . -type f -exec ds -f {} -CDe \;

Speed Tests

When no specific query is provided, ds will search through all possible types of data, which is SIGNIFICANTLY slower than using individual queries. The slowest query is --files. Its also slightly faster to use cat to pipe the data to ds.

Below is the elapsed time when processing a 5GB test file generated by ds-test. Each test was ran 3 times and the average time was recorded.
