Google Dorking? Yeah, it’s a thing. Search Google for Hidden Files

Let me start by saying the title might be a little off, as the files are not technically hidden as much as they are obscure.

While most of us would consider ourselves pretty good Googler searchers these days but the truth is, there is so much more to Google searching than meets the eye.

Introducing… “Google Dorking”

Yes, I said it Google Dorking and it’s not what you might think. Sounds dirty, right? It’s not just me. LOL

Google Dorking also known as Google hacking is about searching Google in a way that filters and brings all sorts or OSINT and InfoSec goodies floating to the top.

Think Before You Dork!!!

Although the information my be available on Google, it does not mean you can use that information to try and hack or gain unauthorized access to a system or individual computer.

Hacking is illegal, don’t do it, don’t talk about it.

With that being said, please be careful, be responsible and please enjoy these Google Dorking Examples for educational purposes.
