Love it or leave it, Google Hacking is here to stay. It’s not just about trolling for idiots anymore. Whether I’m using Google for zero packet-to-target recon, performing intelligent relationship analysis or just using known malicious queries to find the nimrods I’m continually amazed at the things I can do with Google. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that Google isn’t the “be all end all”. I’m a pen tester by trade, and I know that even the mention of the term “Google Hacking” drives the techies crazy. But lighten up a little. No Google kiddy is going to match your l33t skillz, but if you’ve seen my talk, you know Google hacking is just plain fun. To be honest, I thought about “hanging up” this Google “thing” I’m on many times in the past, for fear of being pigeonholed (and ending up unable to land any more serious television roles), but the more I play with other more heady security stuff, the more I enjoy the “break” of coming back and poking at Google a bit. I can’t tell you how many times a simple, innocent query or two has led me down a rabbit hole, dumping me head-first into some poor fool’s admin interface. So, for now, I’ll keep talking about it and I plan on having more fun with Google. Just do me a favor. Stop calling me the “Google guy”… Sheesh.
