Something like:

find /www/vhosts/www.example.com -type f -exec sed -i
's/old\.example\.com/new\.exampl\.cond/g' {} \;

No?

I don't know if it's the best solution,
I would copy the whole folder and do a deep replace in files with localhost to be quick.

Ok, newbie here...

I was asked to scan a web site that we were told is vulnerable. So I'm
copying the site over to my Dev server and each time I manually click
on links, I see it sends my request to production. I went through the
.htaccess file and changed everything to point to my Dev server. It
still goes to prod. I dig in a little further and sure enough, most of
the links in the hundreds of pages are hardcoded to the prod site.

What's the safest way to get around this? Set the /etc/hosts file on
my scanning machine to point to my Dev server? I want to make 100%
sure that my scan never hits the production server.

Suggestions?

Thank you.
