All language subtitles for 1. Code searching

But you were to take a look at code searching, so you may run in a situation where you have a piece

of malicious software or you're doing it Olson investigation, and you come across a particular line

of code, a program or maybe even your whoever's hatching you with those in search wants you to take

a look around and see if their particular code is being leaked somewhere on the internet.

This is where this comes in handy.

Now, the first site I want to show you is code or rather search Echo Dot com now and here as we see

you could type in a code snippet or a function in the search.

Over 20 billion lines of code from seven million projects.

So pretty cool.

So I have a little bit of code here and I don't think this is going to work because this is pretty generic

program here.

So I'm just going to grab this real quick.

Yeah, copy that and we're going to paste it in here and we're going to run a search.

So as we see there was zero results, so depending on how unique the code is, is going to depend on

how successful you're going to be, obviously.

But it does offer other solutions GitHub, StackOverflow, Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo.

So for GitHub, you will need to sign up for an account which is free, so don't worry about that.

Now, once you're signed in, you could actually just search in here for whatever the line of code is

now.

For more information on this, you can go to help dot GitHub for Forgan, for his articles, for sites

searching Dash code, and that's going to take it to this page.

Now this page is going to give you a lot more information on how you search that particular piece of

code, so it's going to be case sensitive.

You want to understand this is sin taxes and use quotations around multi-year search terms, label calling

quote in progress.

So pretty similar to like if you're doing a Google Google search with an advanced search operators.

But again, I recommend going through this particular page because it does give you quite a bit of information

for searching for code on GitHub.

But again, you are going to need to create an account and sign into it in order to use this feature.

But in here, we can see there's a lot of great examples for searching different lines of code.

But again, these are a couple options to search code.

And again, the use cases would be things like the company wants to verify if a particular code is being

leaked online.

Again, you do have a say, malicious hacker that try to drop a payload.

You get you get a hold of the code you're able to look at and you can post it up on, you know, GitHub

or Google Bing or on search code at Search Goal.com.

But again, depending on how generic that code is you, your results are going to vary.

So do keep that in mind.

And this video was about searching for code.

Thank you for watching.
