search and collect windows files from multiple locations on machine and store in one centralized directory

SearchAndCollect

Search and collect executable files (Windows PE file format only) recursively from a parent directory and store in one centralized directory.

Within that centralized directory you will find all files named by their associated SHA256 hash value and a map file that maps filepaths and filenames to the associated SHA256 hash.

Syntax is as follows:

SearchAndCollect -d "C:\Windows" 

or

SearchAndCollect.exe -d "%ProgramFiles%"

The output would be something like this:

c:\>SearchAndCollect.exe -d "%ProgramFiles%"
