Password Stealing using Google dork
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008In theory, everyone knows that passwords should not reside on post-its stuck to the monitor or under the keyboard. In practice, however, surprisingly many people store passwords in text files and put them in their home directories, which(funnily enough) are acces-sible through the Internet. What’s more, many such individuals work as network administrators or similar, so the files can get pretty big.It’s hard to define a single method of locating such data, but googling for such keywords as account, users, admin, administrators, passwd,password and so on can be pretty effective, especially coupled with such filetypes as .xls, .txt, .doc,.mdb and .pdf
