What is the shell command to list all xxx.* file recursively?

[SuperBaby]

I want to list all files (in all subfolders) with xxx.* file name. How do I do that? I found a few files planted by hackers and want to make sure I have deleted all of them.

I tried this but not working:

ls -lR xxx.*

You could use find if you are having no luck with -R.

cd /home/username/public_html
find filename.ext

Yeah, but I have too many folders and subfolders. I need to have something more automated to search all subfolders automatically.

Suppose that you want to find all files under /home with the extension .cgi you should execute

find /home -name \*\.cgi

That is exactly what I want. A thousand thanks.

find alone does that... :|
