unknown files
These files appeared in my home directory one day, and I have no idea how they got there, or where they are from. Can anyone tell me? My guess is that it is a automatic backup of some sort, but of what?
untitled1_MAS.bak untitled2_MAS.bak untitled3_MAS.bak untitled4_MAS.bak untitled5_MAS.bak The file command says that each of them are XML files. The files will not open in Firefox. When I open them up in a text editor, It shows a bunch of random looking characters, so it might be something encrypted. |
I can't tell you what the files mean. But I may be able to tell you how to find what is generating them.
From the command line, as root, run this command: find / -type f | grep 'MAS.bak'. Find should list the files you now have, and the file/script that is generating those file names. |
