find command:

Some useful syntax for find commands

find -perm 777 - to find files and folders which have 777 permission
find -user nobody - to find files and folders which have nobody ownership
find -name "test" - to find files or folders which have the name "test"

You can use special caracters like *, ?, \ etc with find command as per your requirment.

For exa- How to find all directories and files from /home which have the name contents like "fishingbank" with the nobody ownership ?

root@server [~]# find /home/ -name "*fishingbank*" -user nobody

Please read man page for more info
