find seems to me to be best approach though I might suggest this instead:

find /home/eoflores/Desktop -maxdepth 5 -exec ls -ldi '{}' ';'
find /home/eoflores/Desktop -maxdepth 5 -exec lsattr -d '{}' ';'

or

find /home/eoflores/Desktop -maxdepth 5 | while read i; do
	ls -ldi $i;
	lsattr -ldi $i;
done

never mind, I don't think any of these are necessarily preferable. Just
different ways to look at it.
