Subject: Any thoughts on War-Googling?

Hi 

Well, I think there is some filtering from the search engines maintainers, 
that's why it isn't as known and successful as it could be. You can use 
different search engines who support boolean logic (most search engines 
will), like

www.teoma.com	www.wisenut.com	www.google.com

and search for different path's or filenames, like

C:\winnt				WinNT/2K Default-Directory
C:\inetpub			IIS Default-Directory
TSWeb/default.htm		Win2K Terminal Services
url:.htaccess			HTA-Access-File
url:.htpasswd			Password-File
url:etc AND link:passwd	Password-File

And Google supports another special trick:

filetype:XLS/DOC		searching for Documents

And now apply this for Scripting Paths, CGIs, Executables
and all that you can find on target servers ;-)
