Google, the most popular search engine worldwide, provides web surfers with an easy-to-use guide to the Internet, with web and image searches, language translation, and a range of features that make web navigation simple enough for even the novice user. What many users don't realize is that the deceptively simple components that make Google so easy to use are the same features that generously unlock security flaws for the malicious hacker. Vulnerabilities in website security can be discovered through Google hacking, techniques applied to the search engine by computer criminals, identity thieves, and even terrorists to uncover secure information. This book beats Google hackers to the punch, equipping web administrators with penetration testing applications to ensure their site is invulnerable to a hacker's search.

Penetration Testing with Google Hacks explores the explosive growth of a technique known as "Google Hacking." When the modern security landscape includes such heady topics as "blind SQL injection" and "integer overflows," it's refreshing to see such a deceptively simple tool bent to achieve such amazing results; this is hacking in the purest sense of the word. Readers will learn how to torque Google to detect SQL injection points and login portals, execute port scans and CGI scans, fingerprint web servers, locate incredible information caches such as firewall and IDS logs, password databases, SQL dumps and much more - all without sending a single packet to the target! Borrowing the techniques pioneered by malicious "Google hackers," this talk aims to show security practitioners how to properly protect clients from this often overlooked and dangerous form of information leakage.

*First book about Google targeting IT professionals and security leaks through web browsing.

*Author Johnny Long, the authority on Google hacking, will be speaking about "Google Hacking" at the Black
Hat 2004 Briefing. His presentation on penetrating security flaws with Google is expected to create a lot of buzz and exposure for the topic.

*Johnny Long's Web site hosts the largest repository of Google security exposures and is the most popular destination for security professionals who want to learn about the dark side of Google.

A must have for any IT or security professional

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2005

Verified Purchase

If you are responsible for IT resources you must have this book. If you are a security professional you must have this book.

This book will illustrate how Google can used by the bad guys to profile and enumerate your network infrastructure. Johnny Long does an excellent job explaining how Google works with advanced operators and how fiddling with syntax can yield interesting results.

He shows how a hacker can learn a ton of information about your network and company without ever sending a packet at your network.

You will learn how to find out information about misconfigured servers, "interesting" files left laying around servers, locating exploits, mapping networks and quite a bit more. But, you will learn how to defend and protect yourself against the evil Google hacker.

You will learn how to Google hack yourself as part of your penetration testing.
This is an easy read. You don't have to know about the OSI model or ACL rulesets. It should be on the bookshelf of every IT professional, and should be referred to often.

Hats off to Johnny Long for writing such an incredibly valuable resource.

Best search engine feature summary on the marcet

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2005

Verified Purchase

The book "Google Hacking for penetration testers" is no doubt a real eye opener and as far as I know the first book on the marcet thoroughly covering this important issue. I am confident that this will soon be refered to as a "Standard" literature for IT security.

It is also a nice additional feature that each chapter has its summary at the end.

The actual "contents" of the book is (currently) well worth the money, however there are a few things which I didnt like about the book:

- Book layout should be easier readable / accessable
- The physical pages look like photocopies or copy of a novell that I picked up in a sale.
- optional overview chart tables (take out) would have been a very helpful addition.
- The book reads like an interview or keynote speech, but should actually be more engineering like.
- Whats the point in printing pages of scripts ? Shouldnt that be downloadable or on a cd ? Or at least in the Appendix ?

Summary:

For now probably the "best search engine feature summary on the marcet". The layout of the book should be newly structured to be in an easier accessable format. I guess what I dislike most about the book is the casual writing style and the missing engineer style. The book is hardly usable as a reference but more as a one time read.

If the contents wouldnt be worth it, I would rate it with less. Unfortunately the layout absolutely disvalues the contents value. Usually casual writing style is used to fill the pages, with content thats not thoroughly researched.

Great for stimulating ideas .........

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2005

Verified Purchase

I am involved in penetration testing on an occasional basis (my principal role is audit management, my principal interest is systems auditing), per other reviews this is an excellent resource for anyone planning or executing tests.

I have used google with simplistic searches and obtained good results (e.g. pictures of site being tested, too much detail in job postings ...). This book is an excelent source of ideas and techniques, for both social engineering, and more technical tests.

It has also made me consider what the google desktop search tool could be used for, when run on key servers in internal nets.

Authors writing style is very easy to read yet packed with valuable information.

This book is likely to be of significant value to forensic investigators and for those with an interest in competitive intelligence.

Best-of-class book at using the power of Google!

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2006

Syngress's "Google Hacking for Penetration Testers" (GHPT) by Johnny Long demonstrates to average Joes the power of Google. The author is the authority on how to use Google to recon an intended target. Considering the narrow focus of the subject, the book is able to thoroughly dissect the various tools and weapons Google offers. Certainly, this book is not admitting anything not already known in the hacking world, but the books does provide a valuable asset as a one-stop-shop at using Google.

First and foremost, before scouting a target, you must cover your tracks. GHPT first focuses on anonymity (I was particularly impressed with using Google as a proxy server on page 95). After masking yourself, the book focuses on network mapping, and locating exploitable targets. The book then offers 10 searches to find oodles of information that website owners probably don't want you to have. One chapter is devoted to tips to hunt usernames and passwords. Chapter 12, on automating Google Searches, was particularly valuable to me as I'm an extreme novice at scripting.

The book is written in a very simple, plain-spoken (or, more correctly, plain-written) style. While this book should not be the first book on one's security shelf, the subject cannot be any better defined than this book.

I give this book 4 pings out of 5:

!!!.!

A True Eye Opener

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2005

Verified Purchase

I have been using this book for three weeks. Every time Google Hacking gets further than three feet from my keyboard, I get up, find it, put it back by my side. I first used the "recipies" in the book to locate intellectual property violations of SANS material. Next, I went on a digital painting campaign and created over 150 images and used the book to help me find the raw source material. Most recently, I have used the optimized searches the book shows one how to do to help with a research project.

Buy the book, try the searches, learn what is possible. It wouldn't hurt to use the book for its intended purpose as well, to see what information about you, about your organization is exposed on the Internet.

Nice idea, but overloaded

Reviewed in Germany on August 6, 2005

Verified Purchase

The idea is great. Gain deep knowledge about the details of highly efficient Google-search-strings, then lean back and see the what people put on their websites: Excel-sheets with passwords, mail-server logs with tons of adresses etc.
I think the book tells us: be careful! Google sees, finds and caches everything you put on the web, even if you think it will not be found.
What is annoying with the book: sides full of search examples. After you have found your way through the Google search-parameters it definitevly makes no sense to cram the book full with loads of examples. Somehow I think the author had to achieve a minimum number of pages...? With regards to that, the price of the book seems high. You may visit the authors homepage to see the examples there (and much more actual searches as well).
