Book description:
Google is one of the 5 most popular sites on the Internet with more than 380 million unique users per month (Nielsen/NetRatings 8/05). But, Google's search capabilities are so powerful, they sometimes discover content that no one ever intended to be publicly available on the Web including: social security numbers, credit card numbers, trade secrets, and federally classified documents. Google Hacking for Penetration Testers, Volume 2 shows the art of torqueing Google used by security professionals and system administrators to find this sensitive information and "self-police" their own organizations.
Completely updated and revised for this all new volume! Read about all the new and amazing things that can be done with Google.
