Notorious hacker group
Cult of the Dead Cow (cDc) has released a web auditing tool which uses
Google to find vulnerabilities on sites.
The group claims that the Goolag Scanner enables anyone to audit their own website via Google.
The scanner technology is based on 'Google hacking', a form of vulnerability research developed by a cDc member known as 'Johnny I Hack Stuff'.
Available as a downloadable application, Goolag makes use of 'dorks', or detailed search patterns that show untapped results for sites previously indexed by Google.
Dorks find results that might show information relevant to security issues and/or confidential data, and are not limited to Google's search engine, according to cDc.
However, the Goolag Scanner is focused on usability. It simplifies the use of myriad numbers of dorks to a few mouse clicks, and does not require cryptic command line options or knowledge of 'Google hacking'.
