Google serves some 80 percent of all search queries on the Internet, making it by far the most popular search engine. Its popularity is due not only to excellent search effectiveness, but also extensive querying capabilities. However, we should also remember that the Internet is a highly dynamic medium, so the results presented by Google are not always up-to-date – some search results might be stale, while other relevant resources might not yet have been visited by Googlebot (the automatic script that browses and indexes Web resources for Google).


Google Dorks is mainly referred to pull the sensitive information from Google using advanced search terms that help users to search the index of a specific website, specific file type and some interesting information from unsecured Websites.

You can uncover some incredible information such as email addresses and lists, login credentials, sensitive files, website vulnerabilities, and even financial information (e.g. payment card data).


Here you have some example:


intitle:"index of" inurl:ftp

allintext:username filetype:log

intitle:"webcamXP 5"

db_password filetype:env

intitle:"WAMPSERVER homepage" "Server Configuration" "Apache Version"

intitle:"report" ("qualys" | "acunetix" | "nessus" | "netsparker" | "nmap") filetype:pdf
