Cult of the Dead Cow strikes again!
Filed Under (Internet) by Don C on 28-02-2008
Cult of the Dead Cow has released Goolag, an automated “Google Hacking” or data mining tool.
[T]hanks to a program that automates what has typically been painstaking manual labor. The program’s authors say they hope it will “screw a large Internet search engine and make the Web a safer place.”
Google hacking doesn’t mean anyone’s hacking Google’s Web site. Rather, it refers to a sophisticated searching technique used to uncover flaws in the way Web sites handle confidential details, such as public files containing password and credit card numbers and clues about the vulnerability of the site’s own servers.
The Cult of the Dead Cow is probably one guy, or gal I suppose. Maybe a Vegan making fun of meat eaters with the name.
