Is there any advice on how to search a text file faster? I have a strong PC and ive been searching for a specific SSN in the first file of two and hours later im only on line 350 million.

I recommend ack, ag, or ripgrep instead. Waaaay faster and can either be found in distro repos or on github.

ack 1999 | grep LASTNAME | tee results.txt

would be a good start. I don't recommend searching for the full birth date because some of the results have the wrong birth date, but the right person and social if that makes sense. This command would search everyone born in that year with the lastname you choose (in caps), and put it in a file called results.txt. You can then search through a much smaller and managable file (results.txt) to find what you're looking for.

Edit: Saw you're searching for an SSN you already know.

ack SSN# | tee results.txt

will be way faster than regular grep, and lightyears faster than a GUI program.

Or convert it to a sql database and create an index. Should be faster but I have not tried it.

I thought of doing this. Kinda lost interest after I found myself and some of my family / friends who asked in this. Not in it to fuck anyone over.

May I ask which country does this database belongs to?

It came from background check service National Public Data and belongs to the United States.

I also heard there was some info from people in Canada and some in the UK. I'm downloading and going to check it out now, but I do know it's pretty much everyone in the US. Even my friend's one year old daughter's SSN got leaked. Crazy stuff!
How much you wanna bet the USA is going to pull back funding for SS and say "we can't prove blah blah". Supreme court a while back ruled that the US doesn't have to pay out for social security anyways, so no one is technically even entitled.
Excited to see how this pans out, if anything even happens.

Ha! I called my bank yesterday about something and guess how they verified my identity...  My full name, street address and the last 4 digits of my SS#!!!. That is most likely plastered all over the Internet!

after i download i cannot open the file as it says its encrypted. any work-arounds?

There is really only one workaround to encryption: you can use a password cracker. The time to crack would depend a lot on the method you used (like one that used prefixes like "http://"). Brute force would take until quantum computers become mainstream.

The other option is to use your brain and think how this might work, if people are downloading the file and not asking for the password. What did they do differently that you did not? Are they too lazy to ask? Did nobody actually download the file? Or do they know the top secret password somehow?

Is there a reason you talk like such a condescending faggot? fenice posted the password but all i wanted to know was if there was a proper way decrypt the file as i do not know where to find the decryption key
