Googling Up Passwords

Google is in many ways the most useful tool available to the bad guys, and the most dangerous Web site on the Internet for many, many thousands of individuals and organizations.

Googling Up Passwords... and copyrighted documents... 2004-03-09
Chris
I must say, I wasn't thrilled by Scott's first few columns on SF, but he's getting better and better.

This particular column provides interesting information on the concept of "Google Hacks". Although most readers will probably already be much aware of the advanced search options in Google (or other search engines), it is a great awareness piece for those around us who aren't. I can already hear some of my friends telling me "I don't care, I have nothing that could possibly interest anyone"...

I myself have used Google advanced search options in the past, not for passwords, but for specific documents... Hell, I even found some copyrighted material (ebooks, training manuals, etc.) from renowned security firms !

Good column Scott, it's always fun to read a column and thinking "hey, i remember using something like that" or "i gotta try that"... for legitimate purposes of course !
