Google Hacks on Video

Want to view and perhaps even control security cameras on the web? What about finding sites that are not spidered (simple trick using robots.txt)? How about spying on a webmaster’s Frontpage user information or their VNC info, easy with some simple search strings?

You can even check out someone’s php photo albums without their knowing. This is a serious security issue for webmasters who should really get this loophole closed before someone exploits it to upload photos to the gallery. A similar search can reveal “open” printers to which someone could send any document or image for printing in someone else’s office. It could get nasty. Another serious security issue involves a string involving phpAdmin through which someone could take control of your php website. But, I digress, check out the Google Hacks video to find out more.
