GOOGLE DORKS



WHAT IS GOOGLE DORKS?

It is basically a search string that uses the advanced search query to find information that is not easily available on the website. That is most of the time when you search using the google tab it gives you the relevant things to the word you search. For Eg: If you search shoe it shows the availability of shoes in online stores, the definition of the shoe, etc. But when you search using Google Dorks it gives an exact result like the availability of shoes in Flipkart. It is also regarded as illegal google hacking activity which hackers often uses fro purpose such as cyber terrorism and cyber theft

Can Google be used by Hackers to hack websites?

People often take Google as just a search engine used to find text, images, videos, and news. However, in the information world, it has a very vast role. Google can be also be used as very useful hacking tool. we cannot hack websites directly using Google. But it's tremendous web crawling capabilities can be of great help to index almost anything within any websites which includes sensitive information. This can include the username, password, and other general vulnerabilities you won't even be knowing. Basically, using Google Dorking you can find  vulnerabilities of any web applications and servers with the help of native Google Search Engine




IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW:


Before starting with Google Dork, one needs to be aware that Google knows who you are, and when you perform these kinds of activities. Only use this information for legal purposes, just because the information is open on the internet, do not use it to harm others. Any illegal activity caught on the internet, you will be charged as a cyber-criminal. This articles highly influence you to use the information with good intentions 

Special google search operators:
Before starting with google Dorks, you need to have a basic understanding of a few special google search operations and its functions.

1.intitle:
This will ask google to show pages that have the term in their HTML title.
2. inurl:
Searches for a specified term in the URL. For example inurl:register.php
3. filetype:
Searched for a certain file type. Example: filetype: pdf will search for all the pdf files on the websites.
4. ext:
It works similarly to filetype. Example: ext:pdf finds pdf extension files.
5. intext:
This will search the content of the page. This works somewhat like plain google search
6. site:
This limits the search to a specific site only. Example: site:abc@d.com will limit the search to only abc@d.com.
7. Cache:
This will show you a cached version of any website. Example: cache: aa.com
8. *
This works like a wildcard. Example: How to * sites, will show you all the results like “how to…” design/create/hack, etc… “sites”




Basic Formula of Dork
"inurl:."domain"/"dorks" "
Here,
“inurl” = input URL
“domain” = your desired domain ex. .gov
“dorks” = the dork of your choice



EXAMPLES OF GOOGLE DORKING:

DDR 3 VS DDR 4

 Double Data Rate version 3 (DDR3): In DDR3, auto-refresh and self-refresh are performed to refresh its content. Generally self refresh is used for low power consumption and DDR3 consumes low power than DDR2. The clock speed of DDR3 vary from 800 MHz to 2133 MHz, where 2133 MHz is the its peak in some cases, generally clock speed is vary between 1600 to 1800 MHz. Double Data Rate version 4 (DDR4) : In DDR4, only self-refresh is performed to refresh its content that’s why it consumes less power. The minimum clock speed of DDR4 is 2133 MHz and it has no defined maximum clock speed. Let’s see the Data rate and bandwidth diagram for DDR3 and DDR4: In above figure, we can see that the clock speed of DDR3 is vary between 1600 to 1800 MHz and its bandwidth is increased but less than DDR4. And DDR4’s clock speed starts from where DDR3 left but it has no defined maximum clock speed.   S.NO   DDR3   DDR4    ...

JAVA BEANS

  JavaBean A JavaBean is a Java class that should follow the following conventions: It should have a no-arg constructor. It should be Serializable. It should provide methods to set and get the values of the properties, known as getter and setter methods. Why use JavaBean? According to Java white paper, it is a reusable software component. A bean encapsulates many objects into one object so that we can access this object from multiple places. Moreover, it provides easy maintenance. Simple example of JavaBean class //Employee.java      package mypack;   public class Employee implements java.io.Serializable{   private int id;   private String name;   public Employee(){}   public void setId(int id){this.id=id;}   public int getId(){return id;}   public void setName(String name){this.name=name;}   public String getName(){return name;}   }   How to access the JavaBean c...
