Let me start by saying the title might be a little off, as the files are not technically hidden as much as they are obscure.
While most of us would consider ourselves pretty good Googlers these days, the truth is, there is so much more to Google searching than meets the eye.
Introducing Google Dorking
Yes, I said it Google Dorking and it’s not what you might think. Sounds dirty, right? It’s not just me. LOL
Entering Google Dorking Commands also known as Google hacking is about searching Google in a way that filters and brings all sorts or OSINT and InfoSec goodies floating to the top.
Think Before You Dork!!!
Although the information my be available on Google, it does not mean you can use that information to try and hack or gain unauthorized access to a system or individual computer.
Hacking is illegal, don’t do it, don’t talk about it.
With that being said, please be careful, be responsible and please enjoy these Google Dorking Examples for educational purposes.
What Kinds of Trouble You Can Find by Goolge Dorking?
Using the Google Dorks commands on this page I was able to find this open camera in down town Tehran, Iran. This all started in May of 2021. See screenshots below.
Again, be careful what you Dork and where you go. A visit to this camera got me a reverse probe XSS attack from Iranian Intelligence. That was fun!

Google Dorks for user names and password in log files
Below are popular Google Dorks I’ve collected but there may be more out there so my advice is to never stop looking.
You can also find more Dorks on popular hacking website like the Google Hacking Database (GHD).
