abstract:Google hacking is a computer hacking technique that uses Google Search and other Google applications to find security holes in the configuration and computer code that websites use.
Shachtman suggests chipping off the more defense-oriented chunk of the group to create a Cybersecurity Agency or CSA, which could more easily interact with the private sector in scenarios like the Googlehacking and other public-private partnerships.
Googlehacking was first popularized by Johnny Long, a penetration tester who created a GoogleHacking Database that allowed anyone to add interesting security search queries that might turn up vulnerabilities to exploits like SQL Injection or Cross-Site Scripting.
