Google as a Hacking Tool

Everyday you use Google for searches but will you use it for hacking?

A Search Engine will continuously try to list almost all the websites available on the internet to make compete with other search engines.  In this process they also list vulnerabilities or simply speaking common mistakes/threats also. As we all know Google is one of the best search engine available. Here is some of the searches you can use to find exploits on Google.
Before continuing I have to say since this method is pretty popular most of the sites use honey pots(they pretend like a vulnerability but it is just to make u believe that they have a vulnerability). So BEWARE!!
Enough of talking. Lets see some examples.

SSH logs on putty log files
Shell command logs.

Ok, this file contains what a user typed at a shell command prompt. You shouldn’t advertise this file. You shouldn’t flash it to a web crawler. It contains COMMANDS and USERNAMES and stuff… *sigh* Sometimes there aren’t words to describe how lame people can be. This particular theme can be carried further to find all sorts of things along these lines like .profile, .login, .logout files, etc. I just got bored with all the combinations…

SQL history

The .mysql_history file contains commands that were performed against a mysql database. A “history” of said commands. First, you shouldn’t show this file to anyone, especially not a MAJOR SEARCH ENGINE! Secondly, I sure hope you wouldn’t type anything sensitive while interacting with your databases, like oh say USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS…

Get ETC passwords

There’s nothing that defines a googleDork more than getting your PASSWORDS grabbed by Google for the world to see. Truly the epitome of a googleDork. And what if the passwords are hashed? A password cracker can eat cheesy password hashes faster than Elvis eatin’ jelly doughnuts. Bravo googleDorks! Good show!

Filezilla Passwords

filezilla.xml contains Sites,Logins and cryptic Passwords of ftp connections made with the open source programme filezilla.

Rapid share Passwords

Rapidshare login passwords.

Password XML

This returns xls files containing login names and passwords. it works by showing all the xls files with password:(something)so a downside is that u do get stuff like “password protected”, “password services” etc. (and the same for login)But…most of the decent ones have the login and password in the text given to you by google, so its easy to seperate the useful ones from the others. There are so many searches you can run on Google to find exploits. I will add them accordingly so stay tuned.
Finally I am not taking any responsibility on any of the things you may do or you try to do using this information.

Temporarily disable Flash Debugger Errors

Annoyed with the flash debugging errors comes up when you are browsing?Why do i keep getting a flash error in win 7? Want to temporary disable them? It is just a line you need to add to the configuration file.
These errors are showing because you have installed a flash player debugger version instead of the normal flash player. You can check your current player version from Adobe.

The easiest way to not get these error dialogues at all is to install the normal "release" version of the player. If you never debug SWFs in the browser, you can install the plugin/AX control there and not have to worry about it again, though this can be inconvenient if you do actually debug in the browser (which is more than likely the case for Flex users).
Once I was looking for this. I did not find a better tutorial on the internet. I found out the answer after reading several forums. So here is how you can do it.
Locate the configuration file of your adobe flash debugger. Check the path from the below table and the file name is mm.cfg Operating systemCreate file in ???/Library/Application Support/Macromedia C:\Documents and Settings\username
Open the configuration file in notepad and add the following line

SuppressDebuggerExceptionDialogs=1

Restart the browserRemember to restore those lines when you are debugging. :D Cheers!!

How to enable designer view in PHPMyAdmin

Want to create relations between tables using a drag and drop GUI on PHPMyAdmin ?
This is a tutorial on how to enable designer view in PHPMyAdmin to easily manage tables and relations in between them. 
I assume you are familiar with PHPMyAdmin, GUI and already installed it on your machine. First check whether you have already enabled the designer view before going into any of the configurations.
Go to PHPMyAdmin and select a database (not a table). It should be something like below if you have designer view enabled. I am repeating again DO NOT select any tables.

If you can not see a tab called a "Designer". You need to configure PHPMyAdmin to enable it. Open config file of your PHPMyAdmin. If you use WAMP, XAMPP or LAMP or similar distribution the config file is at

path to the distribution\phpMyAdmin\libraries\config.default.php

Edit the config file and change the following fields as shown bellow.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma_history';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords';

Create a database on phpMyAdmin named “phpmyadmin” without quotes and execute the following sql code.

-- --------------------------------------------------------
-- SQL Commands to set up the pmadb as described in Documentation.html.
--
-- DON'T RUN THIS SCRIPT ON MySQL 4.1.2 AND ABOVE!
-- Instead, please run create_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql.
--                                                
-- This script expects the user pma to already be existing. If we would put a
-- line here to create him too many users might just use this script and end
-- up with having the same password for the controluser.
--                                                    
-- This user "pma" must be defined in config.inc.php (controluser/controlpass)                        
--                                                 
-- Please don't forget to set up the tablenames in config.inc.php

How to use a Proxy

 
Ever wanted to anonymously browse web, browse as you are in another country, watch TV series and Movies as they are telecasted , Get visitors for your blog around the world?
According to Wikipedia proxy is a computer network service that allows clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. When you open a web site it will get your IP address from which they can identify the country you are connecting from. Using a proxy you can change the country you are connecting from. ·         Access any restricted sites·         Watch TV series and movies available free on other countries (Some countries like USA, UK allow all their TV channels to be viewed online free for all the USA citizens.)·         Play with low pings on the game servers which are not in your country.·         Hide your identity from the site records·         Hide your identity from the network (Network administrator will not be able to track the pages you visit since you are using a tunnel to browse)·         Hide records on the machine (You can encode the web address and the other will not be able to understand them)·         To keep machines behind it anonymous (mainly for security)·         To speed up access to resources (using caching). Web proxies are commonly used to cache web pages from a web server. ·         To apply access policy to network services or content, e.g. to block undesired sites.·         To log / audit usage, i.e. to provide company employee Internet usage reporting.·         To bypass security/ parental controls.·         To scan transmitted content for malware before delivery.·         To scan outbound content, e.g., for data leak protection.·         To circumvent regional restrictions.Since we are connecting through another site, your security is not assured. These site may have system to record your details and it is recommended not use any login information on a site you accessed through a proxy!!This is mainly used to access web sites. You simply need to enter the web address on those sites and you will be taken in to that using through another site. This is a good solution if you only want to browse web using a proxy. Some proxy sites only allow html to be bypassed. So you videos and flash content will not be visible on the page. However there are some good proxies which allow all the content. You can find so many web proxies listing on the internet. Just search for Proxy on the internet. (Google search for web Proxies).This is the other option you can use. This will bypass all the network connection on the machine thorough a proxy. If you are have Windows Media Center or HULU desktop you can use this option to watch TV series online free. This is little complicated and the step you need to follow are below on the tutorial. There are 3 types of System proxies§  Transparent Proxy – IP address can be caught, such proxies usually used to increase internet speed and decrease amount of abroad traffic (some internet providers grant their user free local traffic).        Browse restricted sites you does not care about sharing your identity        Watch TV series. (This is a speed connection and will allows fast streaming but some sites identify this. Then use a anonymous proxy.) §  Anonymous Proxy – IP address can not be caught by server but server knows that proxy was used during connection. It is very useful to be anonymous surfing in internet .        Watch TV series if above fails §  Elite Proxy – IP address as well as fact that proxy was used during connection can not be caught by server. Best way to hide any information about you presence in internet.1.       Find a proxy server. It will be in the format of 192.145.164.124:8080. In that IP address 192.145.164.124 is the proxy and the 8080 is the port. (You can find proxy IP address on some sites. Use one of the following options. Google search for proxy. Proxy List.)2.       If you use windows machine, open internet explorer. Go to Tools-> Internet Options. You can go there using the control panel as well.3.       Go to Connections tab and click on the LAN settings button. On the new window tick on the last tick box and enter the proxy.4.       Click OK and Apply the settings and click OK on the parent window.·         When you set up the system proxy, you can browse web using IE or Chrome or any other software. (except firefox. If you want to use firefox go to its settings (Tools->Options) open Network Tab click Settings Button-> Select Use system proxy settings)·         Some proxies listed may not available all the time. If not try a new proxy.
