While testing out some executables in my REMnux VM, i noticed that there was a typo in an error message of the program named xxxswf. I wanted to locate the source of that erroneously spelled message, so the following were my steps to locate it.
First, I ran which to see where it was installed. Then, I ran strings against it to see what text was inside the executable. I saw it was a python executable, so I ran a find command on my entire system to locate the python executable. Then, I simply ran strings on the python file and used grep to find the erronious lines!
