What are Google Dorks?

Google Dorks are advanced search queries that use special operators to uncover information not easily found with basic searches. They can reveal sensitive data, exposed files, login portals, and more by leveraging Google's indexing power.

Example Google Dork Queries

• filetype:pdf site:example.com — Find all PDF files on example.com
• intitle:"index of" confidential — Look for open directories with the word "confidential"
• inurl:admin login — Find URLs with "admin" and "login" in them
• site:gov intext:"password" — Search for the word "password" on .gov sites
• ext:sql | ext:dbf | ext:mdb — Find database files indexed by Google

Tips for Safe and Effective Use

• Combine multiple operators for more targeted results.
• Use quotes to search for exact phrases.
• Try different file extensions (e.g., filetype:xls, filetype:doc).
• Be mindful of rate limits and avoid automated scraping.

Best Practices

• Always respect robots.txt and site terms of service.
• Do not attempt to access or exploit sensitive data you find.
• Use Google Dorks for legitimate research, security testing (with permission), or educational purposes.
