INTRO=========
a week or so back i had an e-mail from a friend (FLW) asking me if i had any
info on google search tips
he was surprised on the amount of info available and open via google...this
got me thinking , well i have seen many various search strings in several
papers....so i thought i would put them all together on the one page...and
up-date as new one are discovered...so if i missed any to be added to the
list please let me know and i shall add some more....

SUMMERY=======
Everyone knows google in the security sector...and what a powerful tool it is,
just by entering certain search strings you can gain a vast amount of knowledge
and information of your chosen target...often revealing sensitive data...this
is all down to badly configured systems...brought on by sloppy administration
allowing directory indexing and accessing , password files , log entrys ,
files , paths ,etc , etc

Search Tips
so how do we start ?
the common search inputs below will give you an idea...for instance if you
want to search for the an index of "root"
in the search box put in exactly as you see it below
==================
example 1:
allintitle: "index of/root"

result:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=allintitle%3A+%22index+of%2Fr
oot%22&btnG=Google+Search
what it reveals is 2,510 pages that you can possible browse at your will...
====================
example 2

inurl:"auth_user_file.txt"
http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=inurl%3A%22auth_u
ser_file.txt%22&btnG=Google+Search
this result spawned 414 possible files to access
here is an actual file retrieved from a site and edited , we know who the
admin is and we have the hashes thats a job for JTR (john the ripper)
txUKhXYi4xeFs|master|admin|Worasit|Junsawang|xxx@xxx|on
qk6GaDj9iBfNg|tomjang||Bug|Tom|xxx@xxx|on
with the many variations below it should keep you busy for a long time mixing
them reveals many different permutations
