Googling for the Juicy Stuff


Check out Google a Dream come true (otherwise known as WATCH WHAT YOU PUBLISH ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB!!!)

Got to the honey page that linked to the paper above via search:

intitle: "Index+of..etc" + passwd

from http://johnny.ihackstuff.com/index.php?module=prodreviews via Google search for:

googledorks

via MSNBC via Slashdot.

I’ve seen this before (Google does, after all, index everything it finds that isn’t blocked by a robots.txt file) but it appears that it has gotten rather extreme.

WARNING: It is NOT a good idea to just go downloading files that are out there (even though by publishing the files on webservers the files are being “published” to the public, although almost certainly unknowingly). Webservers keep logs of files accessed, the IP address of the person accessing the files, and it really wouldn’t be hard to correlate your IP with a visit and a download. So resist the urge to go downloading people’s [probably] sensitive files. An email to the site admin wouldn’t hurt, though! 😉
