find (1)             - search for files in a directory hierarchy

Solution

Make use of the find command to search by size and you can see that there`s only 1 file that matches. Even if there were other files, a simple ls -la would check the other conditions.

bandit5@bandit:~/inhere$ find  -size 1033c
./maybehere07/.file2
bandit5@bandit:~/inhere$ cd ./maybehere07/
bandit5@bandit:~/inhere/maybehere07$ cat .file2
