Not sure where this would be posted, feel free to move.

Despite the insane algorithmic censorship that recently gone into over drive Google is still an extremely useful tool, especially if you use these tricks.


Google Dorking

Dorking is a term used by hackers to describe using extra search syntax to find what you need

site:searchTerm
Only gives you site that END in searchTerm

site:fda.gov = only page at FDA.gov
site:gov = Only .gov sites

ext:filetype
Only gives you the filetype you request

site:fda.gov ext:pdf = only PDF files from fda.gov
site:mil ext:pdf "information opterations"

site:index.of intext:mp3
Any music you want!

My tablet is freaking out gonna have to continue later.

Get creative!!
You can use this for much more nefarious purposes.

I'd be willing to wager 90% of hacking starts with google Dorking

site:gov ext:sql | ext:dbf | ext:mdb

ext:(doc | pdf | xls | txt |) (intext:confidential salary) inurl:confidential

intext:cv OR intext:curriculum vitae AND intext:"SSN" ext:doc
