There are multiple ways to search for files in Kali; the three common ones are the locate , find , and which commands.

You can use the locate command to locate a file that you're looking for quickly. You need to know that the locate command stores its data in a database, so when you search, you will find your results faster.

First, you will need to update the database for the locate command using the updatedb command:

$updatedb

Now, we can start searching using the locate command:

$locate [file name] root@kali:/# locate test.sh /home/kali/test.sh /usr/share/doc/socat/examples/readline-test.sh /usr/share/doc/socat/examples/test.sh

You can use the ‐n switch for the locate command to filter out the number of output results. This option is handy if you know that the results will be enormous:

$locate -n [i] [search file criteria] root@kali:/# locate *.conf -n 3 /etc/adduser.conf /etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/debconf.conf
