A link to a site doesn’t really carry much importance to an attacker, but a link from a site would mean that there is some form of trust connection between the two sites. As every one of us is aware that, an organization’s security is as strong as its weakest link (quoted from a blackhat-euro presentation), finding these third party logins and links allows an attacker to gain trusted entry into the target if these have some loopholes in them!Īnother key word that I want you to try would be the Link operator whose usage is similar to that of site.

In the search results, we are able to see few login pages. The explanation for the above dork is as follows: Search the site excluding the main site ( and also exclude the subdomain (). The negation operator helps you subtract unwanted results from the search. Well, this is the negation operator provided by Google. In the above example, you can see the usage of multiple simple dorks. Google APIs used with a script combined with search results can give a big boost in this part of your attack. The target that you are trying to enumerate cannot get a hint that you have already started plotting your attack against it. enumerating domain and hostnames? Well, all this is done without any probing at the target. What is so special about site crawling/Network mapping i.e. We use few other keywords to achieve this feat. Other capabilities of Google include site crawling/Network mapping. Imagine if I had checked all the results or if I had automated this process then I would have million email ids listed in no time! In 0.21 seconds Google time, I was able to get a excel sheet with 1000 email ids. This gives spammers a huge list of emails that they need in succeeding their goals. In this section, we shall see how Google can be used to troll email addresses across the internet. When testing a target we would like to test it from all perspectives and try to gather information from all possible means. The above queries where just simple dorks which gave out sensitive information. This can also be used in user profiling which seems to be in demand in the underground market. The usernames and passwords got from here can be used to strengthen our dictionary attacks by adding these used passwords to the list we already have. Does this mean we hacked an account in 0.25 seconds Google time? 😉īy now, I am sure you would have got an idea as to how dangerous a tool Google can be. The search results took, 0.25 Google seconds to appear.

We happened to get our hands on username and password combinations, one of the accounts listed with the md5 hashes had the hash cracked, and the following combination was uncovered. Unfortunately, the residue is still left in the search results. In the above screenshot, we were able to tap in to some of the SQL injection results done by somebody else on the sites. Next, let’s see some juicy stuff, which comes in handy due to the efficiency of Google crawlers.ĭork: inurl:group_concat(username, filetype:php intext:admin This information can be handy when performing social engineering on random targets. In the screenshot below, we are seeing an admin catalog with detailed information of the customer names, payment methods, and order amounts. We shall try to explore few of these possibilities in this article. The same can be analogous to other advanced operators. The above two diagrams illustrate few of the dorks in a pictorial manner. But many single queries can be put in to one monster query and higher degree of filtration can be achieved resulting in the same particular page in your search results. The following screenshot shall explain things in a better way showing a live example.Ī single query can be used to get a particular result. Let’s see an illustration as to what this really means. Used to search within a particular date range Used to locate specific numbers in your searches Searches for a particular filetype mentioned in the query Specifically searches that particular site and lists all the results for that site Searches for occurrences of keywords all at a time Searches for occurrences of keywords in URL all or one Searches for a URL matching all the keywords in the query Searches for a URL matching one of the keywords

Searches for the occurrences of keywords all at once or one at a time Searches for occurrences of all the keywords given
