Google Tricks and hacks *UPDATED*

[whats...@gmail.com]

Google.com is undoubtedly the most popular search engine in the world.
It offers multiple search features like the ability to search images
and news groups.However it's true power lies in it's powerful commands
that can be used and misused.I am writing this article on the basis of
my experience using google and trying out ideas when i am bored.Now
enough of lecturing...let's get down to business Wink

--- Searching URLs :

The "allinurl" command is used to search for a particular string
present in the URL.Goto google.com and type this in the search box:

allinurl:wwwboard/passwd.txt

Wow! 139 results and allmost every result displays a file containing a
string in the form of --->
username:password (password is encrypted using DES crypto and can be
cracked using john the ripper)
"WWWBOARD" is a CGI message board which saves it's password by default
in a filename called "passwd.txt".This is a very outdated message
board script but many new types of CGI/PHP/ASP messages boards and
scripts save their passwords in a text file (some are not encrypted
i.e. in plain text !! and the rest can most of the time be cracked
with john the ripper)....
