Google Your Site For Security Vulnerabilities (O'Reilly)

[Posted October 13, 2004 by cook]

Nitesh Dhanjani uses Google to uncover web site vulnerabilities. "If Google stumbles across data that may expose sensitive information about your organization, Google will not hesitate to index it. The search engine does not discriminate against data it indexes. How can you tell if your secrets have gone public? You can use Google to your advantage with some specific search queries."

johnny.ihackstuff.com has been publishing "Google Dorks" for at least a year or two. Entertaining reading.
