Readable passwords in logs
I'm looking for two scripts, can anyone help me on this.

The first one to scan log files in /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/USERLOGS and /xxxx/xxxxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/Logs and list out all files and the offending lines that have a readable password.

Check the accuracy of the script to see if it is missing lines with unmasked passwords or returning lines that have masked passwords.
grep "password=" * | egrep -v "XXXXXXXX|password=[\" ]*&"

Appreciate your help.

Are you searching for a specific password or any password= ? What is masked in this milieu?

Any passwords.

So, there are many strings to compare? How many?

Many strings and it may be numeric and characters.

Well, we can egrep 'aaa|bbb|ccc|...|zzz' for all of them, but it will be a long command line and might run slow. Exposed, too. We could egrep in parallel, though. You can do it as lines in sed in a file -- no exposure.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sed -f
/\<aaa\>/b
/\<bbb\>/b
 .
 .
 .
/\<zzz\>/b
d

In sed d is delete and 'b nothing' is branch to end of script is print and next.
