Elwira Pluszcz, Wojciech Mincewicz
Google search engine is as much common (and having almost no alternative), as it is unknown at the same time. Its potentials in the so-called sensitive data collection regarding individuals and institutions are underestimated. the well-constructed query, submitted to the Google, makes it possible to find deleted and archival sites, restore the structure of a webpage or the structure of an intranet, access server configuration parameters, obtain information secured intentionally from unauthorized access (paywall, passwords), obtain user names and passwords, their identification numbers (for example the numbers of payment cards, IDs, etc.) and access device configuration parameters (servers, web cameras, routers and others), to take control of them. such

Introduction In January 2006 it was revealed that the US Justice Department asked a federal judge to compel the web search engine Google to turn over records on millions of its users' search queries as part of the government's effort to uphold an online p*rnography law {Mintz, 2006,# 39586; Hafner and Richtel, 2006,# 35058}. Google resisted, but Amierca Online, Microsoft and Yahoo! complied with similar government subpoenas of their search records {Hafner and Richtel, 2006,# 35058}.

An effective attack method based on information exposed by search engines
Antonios Gouglidis
Web 2.0 consists one of the most emergent technologies of the World Wide Web. This type of technologies can be made available to consumers through a series of web services. Nevertheless, as a relative new approach, it is prone to various security issues. One of these is the potential to use web services provided by search engines such as Google’s and Microsoft’s Bing, in order to identify and attack vulnerable systems. In this paper, we describe a 3-step methodology that can be fully automated in order to deploy massive attacks against vulnerable systems. The methodology described takes advantage of the Google Hacking technique and extends it with two more steps that of information manipulation and the deployment of an exploit. An implementation of a python script demonstrates the applicability and the efficiency of the proposed attack. A real-world example, taking advantage of the JBoss JMX Management Console faulty configuration, indicates the extension of the problem. We anticipate this initiative to help in the identification of similar attack methods and the development of newly and more effective countermeasures against this type of attack methods.
