I have a url such as myurl.com/contents and I am trying to fetch all contents in the folder.



Some files, such as myurl.com/contents/unlisted-file.1 are not linked to anywhere. These files are otherwise accessible; if I wgetthem
explictly or type the address in the browser, I can see them.



Now, I am doing wget myurl.com/contents -r -np to fetch all the contents of the folder, but it is not downloading the unlisted files.



If my understanding is correct, this is by design - wget only downloads files that are linked to.



Is there any way to download all files - linked and unlinked - in a server folder, whether it's through wget or some other tool?




wget curl

  • If opening myurl.com/contents lists all the files in that folder then only we can find a way to download them

  • You cannot access files that are not linked to and from which you don't know the complete path. This is intentionally by the design of http - if the server don't create a directory listing (has to be configured to do so), the contents will be 'hidden'.

  • HTTP doesn't have any concept of directories, and doesn't provide a way to list all the files in a directory. So there's no way for wget to get the names of other files if they're not linked from somwhere.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
