Book Reviews of Google Hacking for Penetration Testers, Volume 2

Book Review: Superb Book, great writing style and plenty of useful examples
Summary: 5 Stars

While Google is for most of us just a search engine, for hackers it is a great tool to gather information and present the attack vector and first of steps against your organization.

The opposite side of Google as a search engine is that a lot of networks and organizations out there have no idea what kind information (classified and potentially dangerous) is presented out on the internet and how data leakage is accomplished that way. This leakage give a significant amounts of password files, confidential information, and configuration data and so on that can be easily found with ingenius queries.

After you read Google Hacking, volume 2, the real power and potential danger of Google is clearly understood. Author Johnny Long does a superb job by presenting insight information on how -not so fiendly - people out there but also penetration testers can use this knowledge and easily harvest information that has been gathered by the Google engine. He's wirting is great and keeps me interested the whole book and besides that he gives away plenty of interesting examples on how to built your own query.

So really worth buying!

Summary of Google Hacking for Penetration Testers, Volume 2

A self-respecting Google hacker spends hours trolling the Internet for juicy stuff. Firing off search after search, they thrive on the thrill of finding clean, mean, streamlined queries and get a real rush from sharing those queries and trading screenshots of their findings. I know because Ive seen it with my own eyes. As the founder of the Google Hacking Database (GHDB) and the Search engine hacking forums at http://johnny.ihackstuff.com, I am constantly amazed at what the Google hacking community comes up with. It turns out the rumors are truecreative Google searches can reveal medical, financial, proprietary and even classified information. Despite government edicts, regulation and protection acts like HIPPA and the constant barking of security watchdogs, this problem still persists. Stuff still makes it out onto the web, and Google hackers snatch it right up. Protect yourself from Google hackers with this new volume of information.
