Site links fixed (hosting move)

Recently I relocated easymetadata.com to a new hosting provider. It turns out I missed some links that broke in the move. Those issues should now be fixed!

If you continue to run across broken links such as linking back to ip’s people contact me.

Thanks!

Exiftool, grep and choco fun

I thought I’d share some holiday command line cheer.

If you have Windows 10 then you also have a command line package manager named “choco”. Many tools can be installed just like in Linux from a command prompt.

Exiftool is a great command line tool for looking at document metadata. Much of this metadata may not show up otherwise and can be very useful investigators.

Grep, a great Linux tool for searching files can also be installed via choco.

If you would like to install it just type “choco install exiftool” and it will install.

Or grep

“Choco install grep”

Now, to use exiftool or grep just open a command prompt and run the program you just installed like so

exiftool c:\path_to_file

grep -h

Enjoy!
