Before starting out, I just want to throw out that everything here is for educational purposes. It is not meant to harm anyone.
In this new tutorial, we go over something known as google dorks and google hacking and how hackers can use google dorks to do google hacking by creating complex dork queries.
BASIC TERMS
Google dork or Google dorking is an advanced way of searching through records crawled by google. These search results are normally difficult to find.
Google hacking is when a hacker tries to find exploitable targets and sensitive data using advanced search techniques (dorking).
Search parameters or Search operators are special keywords that make google dorking and hacking possible. Watch the youtube video tutorial on google dorking and hacking for further understanding.
