💖 fab-cewl(1) — extract metadata from files 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this little tool is about to be your new obsession for real. it's a manual page, section 1, and it's giving username-harvesting queen. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

fab-cewl — extract metadata from files

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fab-cewl [OPTION] ... FILENAME(S)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: FAB stands for Files Already Bagged, and in Debian it shows up as the fab-cewl command. what does it do? it digs through the metadata of your files and extracts the content of the author/creator fields, then turns all that into lists of possible usernames. no cap. 👑

and then those usernames? you can use them in association with the password list generated by cewl(1). iconic combo, honestly. 🔥

FAB uses the exact same metadata extraction techniques that CeWL does — same energy, same skills, different job. iykyk.

and like, currently? FAB processes these formats:

  • Office pre 2007
  • Office 2007
  • PDF

that's the whole roster, bestie. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you this help. that's it, that's the whole thing. it's here when you need it 🫶
  • -v — verbose mode. she talks more. 💬
  • FILENAMES(S) — the file, or the whole list of files, you wanna check. plural gang, we love you 🌈

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

  • cewl(1) — her sister, the icon, the blueprint 👑
