Hack using Google Search Engine

One of the ways to attack on webserver is "Google Hacking".


As we all know, Google is a Search Engine.

Google keeps snapshots of pages it has crawled that we can access via the Cached link on the search results page.
"Google hacking" involves using Advance Search Operators in the Google search engine to locate specific strings of text within search results.
 Some of the more popular examples are finding specific versions of Vulnerable Web Applications.
You can look for the particular Filetypes, Password files and Directories.
You can even find out the IP based CCTV Cameras.

How can we use google to hack!!!

Search using some keywords like 'intitle','Filetype','site','Inurl'...

For example:
Intitle:hackinginception --> searches for all the website links which have "hackinginception" in their titles

Filetype:doc intitle:"security" --> searches for all website links which contain the MS word documents.

site:hackinginception.blogspot.com --> searches for webpages only from the website

Inurl:indexframe.shtml --> searches the links for the CCTV cameras all around the world

In this way, you can try different combinations and hack using google search!!!
You can also find websites that are vulnerable using google hacking!!!
