find potentially malicious PHP commands used in backdoors and aliked scripts

Searched strings:

passthru, shell_exec, system, phpinfo, base64_decode, chmod, mkdir, fopen, fclose, readfile

Since some of the strings may occur in normal text or legitimately you will need to adjust the command or the entire regex to suit your needs.

Check if a file is text

This command produces no output, but its exit status is 0 ("true") if $file is text, non-0 ("false") if $file is binary (or is not accessible).

Explanation:

-q suppresses all the output of grep

-I is the trick: if a binary file is found, it is considered a non-match

-m 1: limit "output" to first match (speed up for big files)

.: the match string, "." stands for any character

Usage: e.g. run editor only on text files

grep -qIm 1 . $file && vi $file

Ensure path permissions from '.' prior to root

`pwd` returns the current path

`grep -o` prints each slash on new line

perl generates the paths sequence: './.', './../.', ...

`readlink` canonicalizes paths (it makes the things more transparent)

`xargs -tn1` applies chmod for each of them. Each command applied is getting printed to STDERR.
