Using a cross platform scripting language, Python 27, a colleague and I created a a script to search a mounted drive  
for clear text social security numbers and credit card data then output it to a file. Future versions will implement not  
only searching ASCII but hex data too, searching for date of birth, code reusability (object oriented), and e-mail  
notification options. 

Usage:
Run the script from Mac or Linux via the Python interpreter.  To run the executable on a Windows machine open a privileged command prompt. Choose start/run enter "cmd" no quotes then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter and choose yes (at the UAC). 

At this point, for Mac, Linux and Windows follow the prompts.  The script will write an output.txt file with the results.


8/4/2013: bug fix in regexes.  A ^ at the beginning and $ at the end, would only match lines that had nothing on them but a single SSN or CC#
